I was expecting a bumper or Hi-Lift jack to be used.

Isn't America great...the post didn't break off.

The guy used simple physics. I'm sure a more refined device that uses
the same principles could be built out of junk but he just grabbed
what he had(no pun) to get the job done. ?(?)?

I'm guessing that wouldn't work if the post was set in concrete?


I just had to put in a new mail box. Old one was metal post in concrete
and had rusted through and broken. So now new box is a foot away from
old. No way to pull concrete.

A time or two in the past we've managed to wriggle out a post set in
concrete, but it wasn't easy!
you need to dig down about a foot all the wat around and tight wrap a
chain around it, then either run the chain over a wheel or over an a
frame and pull with a truck, or use a block and tackle on a log
tripod, or a backhoe.


Great idea as long as we can get a vehicle close to the post that has to
come out. Is there another way of doing that if you don't have the
tugging power of horsepower?
