Any easy way to pull and reuse t posts for new feeder pens. Any semi easy way to pull feeder pen t posts and reuse? Sledgehammer, carefully pull out with truck hitch, etc.? At $5 a post, wouldn't mind saving a few $$$$. Thanks for advice...

We used a chain and FEL on the tractor last week. We pulled ~30. Did encounter two that wouldn't pull-those suckers were in there. I think the holes were drilled with an air drill and then they were driven with tractor-mounted driver into 20"+ of solid limestone. Ain't nobody getting those two.

It's easy...take a pipe wrench and clamp it on the t-post...then take a hi-lift jack and jack it out.

Only put ours in the ground a foot or so they come out easy wiggle with one hand and pull. I hear so much about how feed pens have to be built with overlapping seams and 2 posts per panel etc. I’m sure those people are driving the posts way deeper than needed too. No overlap one post per panel posts about a food deep works fine for us.

hi-lift jack with this: T-Post Puller PlateI've tried a chain, and it slipped too often. This grips, holds, and keeps you jack close to the post. Works great.

Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.

With the driver I can have a t post out of the ground in 1/2 the time it would take someone to get the 40lb hi lift jack and what ever else they need to go with it set up. It's like three, four max bumps under the notches.
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

If you have just a few, waller them around a bit and pour some water down them. They will usually pull out fairly easily.

Front end loader on tractor is the easiest... but I've done it with winch on a four wheeler too, but the tee post puller from TSC works well for just a few
