A couple dozen fence posts to remove. After the first two, I

The old "jaxk-all" or "handyman" jack works even better. a wrap of
chain around the post, hook over the snout of the jack, and "bob's
your uncle" -- Even an old bumper jack works fine - and a lot easier
to manipulate into position than the trolley jack.


True! I stated in another reply that most of the manufactured post
pullers I saw were just modified bumper jacks. Seems like there would
be a million uses for one of those given enough attachments.
Fence stretcher, bead breaker, post remover, building jack (to level
outbuildings) changing tires on tractors/implements, vitually anything
that needs moving or tightening.

BEST thing about the old style bumper jacks is no freaking oil leaking
out over the years!
