Default Compressive strength 3/4" black steel (gas pipe)

Wanting legs for a winch base to pull concrete post bases from soil i have
seen a polish fellow make one, he was using square steel tube about 1-1/4"
tube about,

thanks to trump and covid none is locally available,
i pulled some 3/4 inch gas line from my house was wondering if i could use
this instead of square tube max stress according to the winch would be 1200
lbs i suspect it to be about 500 to 700 lbs
