My T post puller

[SSdoxie]

Here is a little gadet that saves some time and effort pulling T posts. Took me about 15 minutes this afternoon making it from some scrap angle iron laying around.
In the photos I was pulling off the Quick Hitch on 3 pt. Just back up close to post, drop the triangle over the post, lower 3 pt, then pull, up comes the post.

The triangle measure 5 1/2" from top joint to the cross angle. This one is 2 1/4" wide at the bottom. I think 1 3/4 or 1 7/8" would work better since this on did slide off to an angle a slipped on 1 psot out of the 8 I pulled, a little narrower will keep it from twisting off center.

Good job on the puller. It looks as if it will slide down by gravity for a second bite if needed.

Looks great. If the t post has no bumps, you can put a bolt through. Handy.

Thanks, SSdoxie, I will add that one to the list of ideas stolen from someone else.:laughing: Great job!:thumbsup:

Thanks for the idea. I made 2 last week. I'm retired & pittle around in my shop most of the time. I like building stuff like this & giving it to people just to watch their reactions. Great little tool thar really works.
Any more ideas?

I like the puller a lot. Good job.:thumbsup:

nice Job,

Good little tool to have around and make a job fast and easy.
Or its a chain and a helper to do the same job in the same time.

Nice Job

Looks like I'll be making a couple more this week. I really do appreciate the idea. Now does anybody have a tool that simple for driving post?

I simply took a 1/2"x3"x6" @ sized piece of plate, Torch cut 2 holes of a size to drop over my average "T" post and hooked a short chain with 2 slip hooks in the other hole and onto the loader. it hooks onto a knob at any level and out it comes. pfatz

Thinking back, I have also used it with my High Lift Jack to pull somes posts where the Tractor could not go. pfatz

Only problem is, with hills the tractor can't get behind the post. Must be flat where you come from.

I just use my skid steer with the bucket off. The cross frame on my boom has a chain hook welded on. I do not have to get off, but do have to stand up. I just pull up to the post take about 3-4 wraps with the chain (from bottom up) raise the boom and the post is out. If you hang on to the tag end of the chain you can carry and drop the post wherever you want. Smaller high test chain works best.
