I know this is probably a stupid question, but how tall is that lift jack? I have 2 fence posts that was cut, but not underground and it is popping up now.

OMG - I experienced my first ever concrete post removal today ... and it was carnage. I dug for 3+ hours and still never got to the bottom of this old split rail post. Then there's the giant question - how the hell do I yank end estimated 150-lb concrete mass straight up and out a hole nearly 3-feet deep? That prospect alone terrified me! And then some of my smart ass know-it-all neighbors suggested I somehow hook up a chain to the back of my range rover and yank it out. Sure, uh-huh - what could go wrong do that, right. Can't wait to head out to buy a 48" Farm Jack ($100 @ Harbor Freight) and 3/8-in 13-foot towing chain ($40 @ Harbor Freight). I'm also going to experiment with using some anti-tipping poles to keep that jack from pulling to one side. Wish me luck! But thanks for showing me an option that anyone can do on his/her own.

Hey, hi. Nice job on your video. Just asking for my Grand Daughter.... Why would you just not cut the post as close to ground level as you could..... drill a few holes in the top.... add some fuel components, set it on fire .... burn to the base, and then cover it with dirt? ... Like I said, it's for my Grand Daughter.

The easiest way I found to remove fence post cement is to wrap on end of the chain around the fence post cement and hook the other end to the tow bar of your pickup truck, then just pull it out you still have to dig a little around the cement to get the chain around. I pulled one out yesterday that had double cement..

How about 3" diameter metal fence posts, 4 feet deep in concrete? They are on a slatted chain link fence engineered for high winds. Any ideas? Would like to save the posts, without cutting them off at ground level.

Shocker! 2022 farm jacks, hi-lift jacks, bumper jacks or whatever you want to call them are no longer around $50. I just got mine from Tractor Supply for $99 and they only go up from there on Amazon. Thanks for putting this up!

Finally, this is what I really wanted to see! I was really thinking about how to do this when I start my DIY fence project. 8 ft tall privacy fence panels would probably be the best for my Arizona home. I better check on www.trexfencingfds.com/shop/horizons-privacy-fence-panel-kit-8ft/ if they have stocks so I can start my DIY!

What if the post is broken at the concrete ground level. Could you still pull up the below ground post by wrapping the swivel end of the chain around the concrete and the other end around the high lift jacket and pull it out?

In the coal mines in Scotland we used a device similar to this jack it was called a Sylvester--same principle but was used only for pulling not lifting as you notice the guy is using his weight to push down on the lever---always stay behind the lever as one slip and the lever can hit you in the face with the built up energy in the tool,its very dangerous and can lead to serious injury of the face and head or worse!

there's no need and digging a hole at all just wrap your train around the post about 3 times and double hook it and the postal pull out why do people think that you have to dig the hole then get to the concrete

You had me right up to where you brought out the high lift jack, or "Widowmaker" is what they are referred to where I live. Dangerous little contraption, especially if you don't have enough hair on your chest and forget not to wrap your fingers around the handle, if that thing springs back before the ratchet engages, there goes some fingers. I agree with the others, work smarter not harder, just get or make a post puller, 30 seconds or less to pull a post.

If the post is rotted off at the top of the concrete..I just took an old wedge, set it on top of the old post, and hit it a couple times with my splitting maul and the concrete broke in chunks for easy removal.

2'?! Code must be a joke where you live, 48" out here, use post hole diggers, dig down one side of the plug till you get to the bottom,shave dirt around half plug with spud/digging bar, clean the hole and just pry the plug into the hole you just dug. Then put your big boy pants on and pick it up out of the hole----5mins or less

48" is ridiculous. 2' is plenty. I've never seen a fence post blow over without breaking the post and I live in an extremely windy area.

48 is below frost line....if you live in an area that has a freeze thaw cycle, even without a freeze thaw cycle in the area 32" minimum to ensure a strong footing to detour heaving, falling out of plum and loose footings
