Post Puller “Amazingly Powerful”
 ✖  |
“Last spring I was getting ready to have knee surgery so I wasn’t feeling up to fixing a fence post in the back yard that needed work,” says Rowdy Sloggett, Heisson, Wash., who came up with a new tripod post puller that turned out to be strong enough to pull the metal post and concrete footing out of the ground with no problem.
“I had lots of time to think while recovering from my surgery so I took a pencil and notebook out to my shop and went to work. I wanted something strong enough to pull a post but that wouldn’t mess up the yard or flower beds while doing it.
“What I came up with is a 3-legged puller that pulls much harder than a typical high-lift jack. The 3 legs pull straight up from the load rather than off to the side like other pullers. One leg is adjustable to work on hills and uneven ground.
“Because the tripod puller weighs less than 50 lbs. it’s very portable. The fulcrum at the top pivots so once you lift a load you can turn and set it off to the side.
“To use it, you hook a log chain around the base of a post, lock the chain into a notch on the puller, and then press down on the handle. As the post – or shrub or small tree – comes up, you just tighten up the chain and pull again. The handle can be shifted into three positions to adjust leverage. It’s easily as powerful as a small tractor but you don’t have to get on and off to use it.
“To see the puller in action, just go to www.nwquikpull.com.
“We’re now making and selling these for $575.”
