Fence T-Post Puller Build

I have been sick the last few days with the latest phase of the illnesses going around this year. A bit behind on yard projects so there is little time for indoor tech type things. The property has been in need of some t-posts pulled and digging each one up takes forever. Commercially available pullers are a tad expensive so I set out to build one myself with things lying around. The only thing I had to purchase was a steel bottom plate from the local welding supply store. Everything else was on hand.

Pre build item layout

A metal base plate, some angle iron from an old bedframe, an offroad jack, a bit of chain, and a pin with a spring detent are the items we need.

Mock everything up for alignment and fitment.

Weld it all up.

A little testy-test.

Mission accomplished.
