Simple Post-Pulling Plates
Everybody else on Bob Payne's farm was busy one day when he needed to pull some posts. Instead of waiting for help, he went into his shop and made a post-pulling plate that let him pull 20 posts by himself in less than a half hour using a front end loader. After making numerous prototypes, his post-pulling plates are now on the market.
They come in several sizes and are made from a 1/2-in. steel plate with holes that fit the post's shape.
The small ones fit over T-posts, U-posts, chain-link posts, corner posts and contractor stakes, while the large one pulls wood posts 3 1/2 in. dia. up to 6 in. in dia.
Each plate comes with a clevis attached to it for hooking to a chain. Sara Hand, Marketing Director, has had people ask her why people would want to buy the plates when they could make them in their shop. "With the cost of steel, and the time you would spend, it's just not worth it for most people," she responds.
The small plate sells for $29.95 and the large plate sells for $39.95 plus S&H.
Diverse Specialties also offers a Bi-Pod Post Puller. "We refer to our puller as a lifetime tool. You go out, you use it, you throw it in the shop and it hangs out there until the next time you need it," she says. "Thirty years from now, you're still going to be able to use it. It's not going to become outdated."
The Bi-pod Puller sells for $79.99 plus S&H.
