Pulling T Post ideas

[EddieWalker]

I've been pulling T posts with a chain on my front loader, and I'm wondering if there's a way to do it that I don't have to get off the tractor for every post?

Something for sale that hangs off of the loader that I can lower to the T post, and then lift it out would be ideal.

If not, I'll keep using the chain, but I'm hoping there's a better way.

If you don't mind spending money, you could try one of these.

Tempting, but more then I want to spend just to be lazy. Odds are good that the temps will be better next week, and it wont be so bad getting on and off of the tractor to take out each post. I'm just hoping that there's something out there that I'm not aware of that's affordable.

Short length of 2 inch or so pipe fastened to one side of the bucket in a vertical position. Square tubing may work, too.

Lower it onto the post, tilt the bucket a bit to jam the post, then lift. Post falls out when free of the ground.

I hear you brother. I am putting off any more outside work until at least Saturday. By Tuesday they're saying highs will only be in the 70s. Going to need a jacket! Haha

The other option is to stand on the ground and use a hand t-post puller. They work pretty well for me. It doesn't take much effort.

Would one one of those sheet metal grabbers maybe work? I’m spoiled, I’ve got four children and just trained the youngest how to strap a T-post and hook it on the FEL correctly

Get a tractor that is easier to get on and off of?

I use the chain method to pull wood posts.

For T-posts, I use a 4N1 bucket, and use the bucket hydraulics to clamp the post. In general, I'm pulling posts out of dried clay and they really aren't thrilled about coming up.

Hats off to you for working in that heat and humidity!

All the best,

Peter

I use my GF as the one that connects the chain to the T post. I stay on the tractor.
I guess you need a GF to help you !
