Church needed several hundred yards of silt fence removed. T posts, 2” square wire, and poly burlap. If course you usually don’t need a silt fence in a flat field so it was an interesting exercise getting to them without landing on my head. Picked up a T post puller from Tractor Supply for about $12. Wife hooked them up. Grapple worked pretty well for ripping the wire out and stuffing it in a dumpster, too.
Loaded up and ready to roll out.
A tame section of the fence which must go. There’s a lot more on the 50+ acre property.
The simple flat 1/2” plate at the end of the chain is the T post puller. Worked very well. Quicker, easier, less likely to slip than a chain by itself. Hole with a chain slot on one end; square hole capped with a triangular hole on the other to grab the post.
There was a guy out there with two very dull chainsaws and his pre-teen sons trying to cut some deadfall into small pieces to carry about a couple hundred feet out of the woods to his trailer. He couldn’t figure out why his nice Stihl saw was cutting like the backside of a butter knife. Talked him into cutting them into lengths to fit his trailer, skidded them out for him, and loaded them on his trailer. Suggested he take the chain to a local saw shop for sharpening or replacing before messing with the logs further. Partly because I’m sometimes a nice person. Partly because his operation and ours were kind of occupying the same space.
