Fence Post Pulling Rig with a Harbor Freight Farm Jack

In this video, I show how to use a Harbor Freight farm jack, two 2x4's and a length of chain to quickly pull out fence post. This can also be used to pull out the concrete base where the post has rotted away. You'll still need to do a lot of digging for those, but at least it makes it easier to pull out the concrete base.

The chain we use is 5/16". The 2x4s are 4'9" - because that's what I had on hand. I think anything that's about 6"-12" longer than your jack would work. I used a 1/2" x 6" bolt to hold them together. Be sure to make the holes large enough and leave the bolt loose enough to let you move the 2x4's to be able to make the tripod shape.

12/1/20 update - I took out four 15 year old burning bushes over the weekend. Just trimmed off the tops so I had about 1 foot left to wrap the chain around. Worked like a champ. I used a "beater" ax to cut through the smaller roots in the soil as I jacked it up to make extraction easier. Harder than the fence posts, but still worked just fine.
