How to get a fence post out of the ground with a highlift jack

so I seen a lot of videos on the internet about how to get a post without too much trouble seen guys digging building all kinds of jigs drilling holes so this is my last one I've done about 50 of them got technique that's fast cheap easy so I'm right-handed gasps everything's gonna be kind it's got a very large change gonna be both in it about 18 inches or so up enough to get around the post twice the first thing I do is I just wrap this around the pole and believe it or not there's enough friction of the pole it's not gonna need any anything else to to get this pull out ground and you put bolts right through the next loop so it's got to be a big enough hole big enough chains through here so it doesn't have to be real taut you don't have to hurt yourself trying to get it really tight on the pole just get it left rough around there couple times and then I'll put up I have another loop big another big fault with that footing I'm gonna use it bring it size board and keep it away from the concrete ball down there then I have a standard hi-lift jack feed about how you play Jackson right here this guy put the jack on the left side of the pole just barely left of the Pope the stem of the jack is going to cross the pole and ahead of the jack is gonna go on the right side if you ever left here the guy who did that back right put my loop down here a little bit later on my Jack since I've done this about 50 phones you'll wear one of these decks out with Finn's boss so I wouldn't unless you're off-roading headsets Tim matching the heel them where to touch the pole notice right now I've got my first tension on it and the heel is actually touching the head is across don't put your hand in here paint your fingers really bad and as you jack up keep pressure to where that heel stays right on the pole if you flop it left and right it's gonna come off so you just kind of keep a little pressure on the jack handle steer that onto the pole you notice that chain is already got enough frictional that's where it's jack is around the ground if you uh you're doing this in dry soil this is really wet gonna dry soil I'm 185 pounds getting one of these out of dry so I couldn't do it and get my neighbor to help me wet soil and kind of contract with grade posts and comfortable and get this out of here my weight so what happens is the water is cool thing is that the dirty digging they have to do T drilling have to do any jig building pretty fast pretty easy alright thanks
