Hi Blue,

I've used a pick-up and chain with good results. Just back the truck upto the post until you just touch the post then wrap the chain a couple wraps around the post close to the ground, then pull the chain tight then pull forward lifting the post straight up out of the ground. Yep the only draw back is it's a two person job.

The chain only needs to be held hand tight if you take a double rap around the post. I use a 20ft 1/4" chain. The chain will not slip and makes for pulling the post and moving to another post very fast.

Caution: If the chain has too much slack or is placed around the log too high then when the post comes out of the ground it will lean over and ding the tailgate. Ask my wife how she knows this. LOL
