That's a great idea. Thank you for sharing. Another handy trick is to use t-post driver as a fulcrum lever to lift the t-post straight out, by sliding the t-post driver down the t-post, between one of the t-post driver handles and the body of the t-post driver, until the driver is resting on the ground and the handle is on the notched side of the t-post and the body of the t-post driver is on the opposite smooth side. Now slide one or more t-posts into the driver for increased leverage and rigidity as needed, and then lift. The t-post will become very tightly pinched between the handle and body of the t-post driver, with the protruding notch preventing the driver from sliding up the t-post. Where there is loose soil, sand, cinder, mud on top , you can use a block of woof to keep the butt of the driver from sinking into the soil as you lift. You can also "choke up" on the t-post by sliding the driver one way or the other, to either increase leverage or distance of each lift. And similar to the method you've shown us here, the driver will simply ratchet down to the next notch after each lift. Rinse and repeat a few times, and the t-post is yanked right out.

This is really smart. There are an amazing number of crappy products made to pull a t-post. Even the little plates that people use to attach a chain for a tractor to pull up are poorly described; because there are different sizes of t-posts and of course different size chains and they usually give no dimensions. So, it was great to see one resourceful guy spend no money and pull t-posts right up.

That is a great idea. As I recall when i removed about 15 of these around 5 years ago I used a crow bar with a block of wood under it to keep it from sinking into the ground. If the ground is real soft, maybe from rain or for whatever reason, the technique presented here might be helped by laying similar size 2x4 on the ground to keep the vertical board from sinking in. Again great idea shown in the video.

I tried pulling one of these posts out of my backyard once but I wasn’t aware of this trick. So, I tried yanking the post in all directions to make the hole in the ground larger at its opening. That failed to loosen it sufficiently so that I could raise the post from its position in the dirt, so I thought I’d try to bend it by pulling it towards me using all my weight. Well, under lateral force, the metal post snapped in two and down I went…hard…flat on my back. It had barely even bent before it snapped. Obviously, I didn’t expect that outcome but it sure was a lesson learned. I couldn’t even find the remaining piece still underground.

Wiggling the post around in 4-8 directions often aids to loosen the dirt around the post and breaks the suction in wet soil. If the ground is wet or loose, get a second block and make a triangle between the post base and lever block base to improve the footprint. You may need to cut a shallow groove in the foot board for the lever block if it slips too much under foot. Flatten the end of a steel pipe if your wood is too wet or soft. A steel L-bar (nail puller can be used in place of the wooden block here. You can also drop your wooden block perpendicular to the post on the ground and use the L-bar to lever them out in the same manner by pulling the two simultaneously to keep them in contact. If your post or rod does not have the notches on the spine, you can use a small vise or sturdy clamp; or a pair of vise or bolt pliers to serve as the notch that you will lever with. Multiple half hitches can do the trick too. Twist several loops and drop them over the post, then run the rope, strap, or cable, over a long board with a couple reversed hitches on the other end of the rope, and you can lever the board in the fashion shown by the demonstration above. Thanks for the video, you explained it well.
