Lightweight T-Post Puller

Lightweight T-Post Puller FENCING Miscellaneous 33-5-34 "My new Quik T-Post Puller is easy to use and only 18 in. long, eliminating the need to lug around big, awkward post pullers," says Bob Medearis, RCM Enterprises, LLC, Byron, Ill. The post puller works like a ratchet on a jack, except that instead of using a handle the operator uses hands on the post and foot on the puller. It consists of an 18-in. length of channel iron with a metal plate welded onto it at the bottom and a catch plate 1 1/8 in. from the top. The operator places the base plate on the ground about 8 in. from the post with the top end lying against the post at about a 60 degree angle, and wraps a safety chain and hook around the post. Then he places one foot against the channel iron to keep pressure on the post, grabs the top end of the post, and pushes it forward. The post puller slides down on the post and the catch plate catches on a post lug. When the operator pulls back on the post, leverage from the catch plate causes the post to push up. The operator repeats this back and forth motion three or four times, always catching the next lug down, until the post pops out. "It really works fast. You can hear the catch plate click down on the lugs," says Medearis. "The safety chain keeps the puller from hitting you in the shin if it should ever slip off the post." Sells for $27.50 plus S&H.
