pulling 6 inch round posts, sank 4 ft deep...

Not trying to be a smart Arse but do you have to pull them out for some reason? If not chainsaw runs pretty cheap.

Probably because they were over $10.00 each.

The short chain to a 3 point is how I would start if all I had was a tractor. If the chain slips up the post the bobcat will have a similar problem. Thumb equipped mini-ex is really slick for pulling posts.

I pull stuff like this all the time with the 3point of my 28HP Jinma.

I wa told of some chain link and posts I could have if I removed them. I used this but they are >2" but some were over 2" deep.

Correct, they are $11 plus tax each and are about 6 months old. I can use them on our new 20 acres!!

No offense to anyone here, these are not thin metal posts, alum fencing or even 4x4...

They are 6 inch round posts driven 4 feet down, so I think I'm going to have to do more then wiggle them out, use a jack stand or hook a chain up and pop them out...



I think I have a farmer w/a bucket who's son needs money for BoyScout camp, so I'm gonna throw him some cash to do it.

Those might be stuck in pretty good, might be more than even a bigger skidsteer can pull. If the ground is firm enough to get a forklift in, you can get a lot more pulling power by getting right up on the mast. Also, when you're at the end of the line, you can spread the forks and load up the posts on the way back. I know; I've got a forklift, so that's my go to. When you have a hammer everything looks like a nail.

I have a kubota and a larger backhoe. the BH is already located within 2 minutes drive of sparta, and my kubota is at my place about 10 minutes away. I'm PMing you.

Edit, I see you need them pulled in new albany. Still no big deal but rules out the BH. I am sure I could pull them with the kubota if your deal with the farmer falls through. I could do it saturday afternoon no problem. I will already kinda be down that way doing a 3 acre bushhog job in grandville.

Backhoe with a thumb should be able to grip and pull
