Cordless Wrench-Powered Post-Puller FARM SHOP Tools Chester Brown Industries CBI an Australian company recently introduced a scissors-action post-puller Vol 48 No 1 While it’s designed for rapid pulling of line fences the Multi-Pulla is ideal for those one-off posts It’s especially well-suited for pulling posts in spots hard to reach with conventional pullers “The Multi-Pulla is intended for those cases where you normally use a hand-powered puller ” says Peter Chester CBI “We designed it with a front plate that can be adapted to different post types There are jaws for pipes up to 75mm 3 in jaws wire cut to a T-post profile and chain link grips for wood posts up to 300mm nearly 12 in diameter ” The Multi-Pulla lifts up to 4 tons and not just fence posts One customer ordered several to pull 400mm nearly 16 in 3/4-in pins that had been driven into asphalt pavement to hold grain bin frames “Some pins had been in for several years and fused with the soil ” says Chester “They wouldn’t come out even when pulled with front-end loaders yet the Multi-Pulla pulled them right out ” Chester credits the pneumatic lift supplied by the recommended 3/4-in impact wrench “Grade 10 threads are used to cope with the torque applied by the impact wrench ” says Chester “Depending on the torque required a 1/2-in wrench or even a cordless drill may be sufficient ” The Multi-Pulla is designed with an impact wrench holder It relieves the operator of torque load on their wrist “You can even have a sip of coffee while removing a post ” says Chester The Multi-Pulla weighs 40 kg just under 90 lbs but wheels easily slip it into place against the post Attach the appropriate jaws and activate the wrench A 36mm just under 1 1/2 in drive nut on the threaded rod draws the fence post gripping fixture up the center mast The drive nut and the locking studs on the jaws are the same size eliminating the need to change sockets “The Multi-Pulla is operator safe as there is no stored energy to be accidentally released ” says Chester “Unlike other hand-operated post removers it won’t slip on the post or break a handle The jaws won’t wear and it isn’t hard on the back ” The Multi-Pulla is available for sale in the U S and Canada It’s priced at $1 400 Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Chester Brown Industries 4 Stockton Rd Port Kennedy Western Australia 6172 ph 08 61563601 or 61 488685309; peterc@chesterbrownindustries com au; www chesterbrownindustries com au
