Don't do it.

I find chaining to the CAT dozer blade and lifting does the trick.

Cheater!

The T post around the garden I have been able to pull some out by
hand the ornery ones have been using a bumper jack and chain haven't
tryed the tractor quick hitch yet

for t-posts, if i want to keep them i have an amazon special t-post puller that attaches to my FEL and they come right out for the ones i do not intend to reuse i just grab them with the grapple and pull them then go over and stick them back it the ground where they are out of the way.

They are called "loader" for a reason.

yes and a hammer is called a hammer for a reason, but they also pry and make good self defense tools also (screwdriver, not so much). The point is it is a tool and there are acceptable uses for a tool and non-acceptable uses for a tool, the difference a lot of times depends on the operator or lack of one.

Chaining up the post the draping the chain over the tractor tire then putting the rest of the chin under the tire

Speculating here -- I'd be worried you converted a slipping wheel into a backflip.

They're only intended for hamming?

Don't be a borrower or a lender.

The real problem is the other person being a bender.

They're only intended for hamming?

and what is the claw on the back side intended for, hammering?
my FEL has attachments for pallet forks and a grapple with a root rake it is still called a loader, a FEL will dig a hole is that still a loader?

This post reminds me of an incident that happened over 40 years ago. A neighbor lady called and asked if I would pull out an old unused fence line. I declined, but not for fear of damaging my tractor.

Her deceased husband had sold off parcels of land for cash, on which he never paid taxes. The guy was a real nut case who was rumored to have buried large amounts of cash all around the farm. The last person to do any work for this lady was falsely accused of uncovering and stealing some of it. He was arrested and the case went to court but was dismissed due to lack of evidence. Cost the guy plenty in lawyer fees though. No way was I going down that rabbit hole!

Over the years, the rumors turned out to be true. After the lady passed away, the farm was sold and the new owner found over $50K buried under the floor of an old barn! Occasionally, I still see people on the land with metal detectors looking for more loot!

I know a guy that told me that he has been burying ten grand in cash on his land. He's sealing it up in PVC pipes so it's water and air tight. I really don't know if he is or isn't. He said that he's buried a few of them already, and he's going to bury more of them.

I was thinking about this method recently and wondering if you couldn't do the same backing the tractor rear wheel up to the post, Chaining up the post the draping the chain over the tractor tire then putting the rest of the chin under the tire, so moving forward would walk the chain pulling the post up. What think yee?

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned: a post here long ago referenced a kid who died that way, he didn't get the clutch pushed in soon enough before the tractor came back over on him.

And the alternative described by an experienced farmer - chain the post to the front side of a rear tire, back up. No risk of flipping the tractor that way.
