T Post Puller

[archerm3]

Have also used my HiLift farmjack and a c-clamp or chain. Bent a c-clamp once though.

I have had my HF lever puller about 5 years now and it has never let me down. Evidently, sometimes those folks in the far east make a good weld and sometimes they dont. I am pretty handy with a welder, so I wouldnt have any trouble beefing mine up if I needed to, but as stated, it hasnt needed any repair yet. I will admit that buying HF stuff is a gamble, but my satisfaction with thier products has run above 75%. One of my other favorites is a 1/2" hammer drill I got about five years ago half price for around $15. That thing has been tough as nails. Also, a 10 year old, 3/4" drive socket set has been trouble free. A mid-grade tap and die set also has given me a pretty good bang for the buck. The loosers have included a cheap palm sander and saws-all.

Junk. The main weld on my HF puller cracked on the 4th post.

Northern Tool sells one too.

I've had good luck with some HF stuff. Like my 6-in-1 frame nailer. I'll bet I've shot 10,000 nails with that $89 gun with no problem. Just oil the plunger mechanism and it's good to go.

But that T-post puller is a flimsy piece of crapola. Fortunately, it was on sale for $19.95.

I usually either pull them out by hand or one a tough one use a chain with the FEL. Sure costs a whole lot less than buying a T post puller.

This is my method as well.

Here is a video of the puller in action. Pull the string and the post drops.

T-posts are very easy to pull by hand with a simple lever mechanism you can get from Harbor Freight for under $20. Using a tractor or a tractor mounted implement for this job is a big waste of fuel, time and money.

You might be right in many cases but when I put my T posts in 25 years ago I was a pretty strong yong buck and drove them deep. Since then they've rusted to the ground. I need to use the 3pth, chains and some creative attachments to pull those rascals now. I haven't tried the product you're mentioning here so it may work but I know T bars can be challenging to pull out of haevy clay ground.

I use my head instead of my body for jobs like this. The FEL can be replaced when its wore out, so the heck if I am breaking my back pulling on T posts.
