Slick 3-Pt. Mounted Post Puller

Slick 3-Pt. Mounted Post Puller FENCING Miscellaneous 28-4-20 "My 3-pt. mounted post puller really works great," says Brad Smidt, Lennox, S. Dak. The post puller was built from a hitch off an old anhydrous ammonia applicator, and some heavy railroad track angle iron. It consists of a steel jaw that's hinged in the middle and is attached to a hydraulic cylinder. Extending the cylinder closes the jaw around a post. The 3-pt. is then raised to lift the post out of the ground. "It works a lot better than having someone else walk alongside to wrap a chain on the post. That can be a very tiring job when you have miles of fence posts to pull out," says Smidt. "I've used this idea for 1 1/2 years. It will also work on wooden posts, too, if they're small enough to fit into the jaw area. The main thing is to build it heavy because there's a lot of pull on the jaw area, especially with old posts that have been in the ground for 80 to 100 years."
