I'm sure some of you have heard of this method, but I just wanted to share this video I made of a handy way to remove t-posts with some common stuff you probably have lying around (instead of the $50 removal tool).

well couldn't get the embed to work, so here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bINj4V8o3KY
 
A $17 Harbor Freight 6' steel bar and $7 chain work pretty well if you don't have a spare rim and ATV or a loader.
 
I just clamp a big pipe wrench on the T-post and stick my iron bar under it. If it's in real deep, I use my farmer's jack under the pipe wrench.
 
I use an old bumper jack and a chain to pull most anything.
 
Happens to me every time. Had a rim sitting in the garage for fifteen years. Never used it so I took it to the dump week before last. >:-(
 
Hmm...no old wheels sitting around. Oh, and no ATV. But then, I don't have any T-posts, either. :coolsmile: Clever, though! Rick
