Default 4x4 fence post removel

This past October I had to remove 25-plus 4x4 fence post all in in concrete. I started out using a nylon strap and choker and pulling them out with the FEL. Doing this by myself was going to take forever. So I had to come up with a better way. So the next post I curled the bucket while raising the loader on the corner of the post. It came right out so the next one I did broke off at the ground while trying to catch the edge with the bucket edge. So now I had to dig the concrete out. To keep this from happening again I got out the chain saw and cut a slot on each post so the bucket edge would be able catch more easily. This worked out perfect I was able to go from post to post pulling them out with the previous posts still on the bucket. I would have 3-4 post hanging on the bucket then unload and come back for more. I had the job done in a fraction of the time it would have taken doing it with a choker.

I had more pictures of this project but some how they all got deleted accept for this one.
