callum12 256 #1 Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) Hi all, I needed to clear some space for a gate so out came Agri-800 to pull out all the Basal shoots. I was impressed with how well it pulled them out! some were really quite large and attached to sizeable roots but they were no match for the mighty wheel horse haha! Here is a short video: thanks for looking, Callum Edited July 29, 2016 by callum12 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

russellmc301 600 #5 Posted July 29, 2016 nothing like showing off the might power of the a-800 i yanked a fence post out with rusty. i used a clevis like the one laying down below on your tractor. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kegler 68 #6 Posted July 29, 2016 Have used a hitch on a hydro and a short piece of chain to lift steel posts straight up out of the ground. Wrap the chain around the post and hook both ends to the hitch and let the hydro do the work. Lift, lower and repeat. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was wondering if anyone had done something similar. it certainly is easier pulling post straight up and out rather than pulling laterally. thats quite a good implement idea, a device that attaches to the hitch with a self contained ratchet strap type thing the fence post removal.

Kegler 68 #9 Posted July 31, 2016 They actually made a farm jack with a post puller attachment. Was a fairly simple setup that probably wouldn't be too hard to convert to fit a hitch. Wish I could find a pic of one, will keep looking. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
callum12 256 #10 Posted July 31, 2016 I know what you mean, my neighbour said if I had any more posts to pull out he has a jack I can use. Callum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
