Chain Hook Post Pulling Idea
I got this post-pulling idea from an article I saw in a previous issue of FARM SHOW. It’s a simple idea but it works a lot better than just wrapping a chain around a post, because it won’t slip off.
  I welded a chain hook onto an 8-in. long pipe with threaded ends. I also ran a bolt through one end of a chain to keep the chain from pulling all the way through the pipe.
  To pull a post, I hook one end of the chain to the loader bucket. I wrap the other end around the post and attach it to the hook on the pipe. As I raise the loader, the chain pulls through the pipe and tightens up once the bolt reaches the end of the pipe. The threaded ends of the pipe dig into the post and help keep the pipe from slipping. It only takes about 15 sec. to pull the post up out of the ground. This idea also works great to pull small trees and brush. (Roger Ezell, 15495 Robert Ezell Rd., Perry, Fla. 32348 ph 850 578-2135; rezell@fairpoint.net)
