I'm going through a divorce and have to maintain a 64 acre horse facility by myself. I should also mention I'm a 30 year old 120lb woman. I've learned to do a lot of crap on my own but this one is giving me a really hard time.
I have a wooden post and ramm flex fence around my outdoor arena that is also bordering pastures. Electric was down and somehow the horse broke the post off just below the concrete (how the F is that even possible?!). I've dug a giant hole around in and managed to break off large chunks of concrete but I still can not get the whole thing out. FYI I have black death clay soil. There are also railroad ties along the bottom to the inside of the post to keep footing in place which also make it an extra pain in the azz.
I've tried a sledge hammer to a pry bar around the edges... I've put water in the hole and tried again. I've tried drilling holes into the remaining wood post to see if I could just rip out the chunks of wood. (I've attached a photo).
Any ideas?
