Just another VERY successful use of my amazing 50cent BH thumb ... yanking t-posts. Hard to beat simple design, scrap materials and minimal fabrication effort. (I am usually able to yank t-posts with the FEL bucket but these wouldn't budge.) :D

I like it! But how much jockying around do ya do at each post? Spin seat? outrigers?

Yeh, all that. Well, I don't spin the seat unless I'm serious, ... ya know, I'm lazy. This particular area was kinda flat-ish, so I just kept the training wheels near the ground. If my operation pulled baby's front end off the ground, I sank 'em. Yeh, I just leaned back and ran the hoe from the seat-forward position. ... Got my job done :)

Attached is the dwg (profile only) that I mentioned in my PM reply to you.
The material was just recycled 3/8" x 1.5" concrete form stakes. It was just an experiment ... then a prototype ... then a finished implement. Who'da thunk it ;)
Cheers!

I like it, and thanks for the drawing, what program did you make that drawing with?
thanks for the info and did you get that beer can pipeline done yet?

I just used AutoCad for the very primative dwg.

The beer-can pipeline has been put on hold in ancicipation of the beer-can gattlin gun :D ... I'm envisioning a hopper of cans full of frozen water powered by black powder ... dunno, just in the planning stage now

Nice. Simple, to the point, and functional. 2 thumbs up :D
