Removing stubborn fence posts with my Hi Lift Jack

[@JohnBrodeur]

This video was a great. Bought one at Harbor Freight for 49 and got them all out this weekend. Thank you!

OUTSTANDING

Off to buy a high lift jack right now. Great tip with the chain rather than screwing a block to the post. Excellent video thank you

[@Chillmaster04]

Best video I've seen yet on this. Very clear. Thanks for showing it clearly from the beginning, including how you put the chain around the post. I have a post to remove that broke off. I'm left with about 18" of 4x4 left at the bottom of a 2 1/2 foot hole. I'll just need to use a longer chain. Thanks

[@carlosrochaservices6487]

Thank you A lot of trial and error

[@marccarter4469]

We use 4x2 timbers a little longer than the jack at the front creating a tripod and it stops the jack tipping forward making it much safer to use.Bolt the 4x2's to the top of the jack using a long coach bolt or similar.

[@carlosrochaservices6487]

Thank you for your suggestion I will try that next time!

[@lizardman1303]

Wonder if u just dig around it a little to break the surface

I built some tripod legs for my Hi Lift jack when it's to be used as a post puller. In Facebook, do a search on, "Russell Stephan Pimpin' out the Hi Lift Jack with Accessories Built/Purchased". And before I owned the Hi Lift, I used a standard floor jack and a scrap yard obtained steel I-beam to remove the concrete plugs of a privacy fence. This effort is also documented on FB. Search, "Russell Stephan Privacy Fence Removal". Amazing what one can accomplish with a little thinking along with a bit o' fabrication!

I did both searches on Facebook and you didn’t show up

[@joekind1]

I just watched several videos, you are the only one smart enough to place a board under the jack.

[@carlosrochaservices6487]

Thank you!

[@patrickzadd5215]

thank you

[@carlosrochaservices6487]

You are welcome!

[@rmardock]

So satisfying to watch it nudge out!

[@normchong9221]

Nicely done!!

[@carlosrochaservices6487]

Thank you I also have a way of using a "bridge" when the concrete base is big, I will make a video when I come across the need to use it again

[@carlosrochaservices6487]

Thank you much!!

All that land and space skid steer with a chain. Lol live in a subdivision farm jack.

[@carlosrochaservices6487]

I agree! (This made a more interesting video) Thank you!

[@sunflowerisland]

Try a Pressure Washer and wet and dry vac...... just a few hours, look into it

[@MegaDysart]

Wouldn't you need to empty it out every 5 minutes? Most shop vacs are pretty small

[@josebilecki3295]

Nice video

[@carlosrochaservices6487]

Thank you!

[@johndneeley]

It does not work so well on 32” of concrete, unfortunately. I’m going to be digging a loooooong time.

[@russellstephan6844]

Here's a solution using nothing more than a scrap steel I-beam, floor jack, and some cribbing. Of course, one needs a welder to fabricate the foot on the I-beam. Search Facebook for, "Russell Stephan Privacy Fence Removal".

[@yaykruser]

get a chain hoist

[@VovanNPC]

good
