Bojan, nice work - but just a safety tip - you should never have your head over the handle of a high lift jack - in fact no body part should be between the handle and the ladder.
i have to say, whoever put those in did a nice job. actually used sonotubes and the concrete is fairly deep. usually it would be a jackass job with the holes being 1 foot deep, maybe/hopefully at least 2 feet deep. this also makes it easier to pull out because of the smooth sides. and for a question about weight, yes each one of those is fairly heavy and require two guys to move around
🇲🇰 🎉
Slick!!! Good job
This may work for a small pier, but I tried it on a heavy pier and there was just no way. The jack will tip forward.
I agree...posts were around 3' long and 8" in diameter. Sorry that didn't work for u
I dont believe this video.. The farm jack when pulling out will push to the front... making it impossible to pull out...
Ivan, the method worked well. The minute the post was well above ground, I leaned it to the side and safely laid it. It didn't push to the front.
you are a life savior, I was struggling to find a safe way to remove them, but this video was right on time. Cheers from Moncton, NB
I am glad you found it useful. Good luck Yasser!
Thanks for the idea, I have 4 existing sonotubes with post brackets I need to remove.
Thanks for sharing, I am going to try that tomorrow on exactly the same footings
Good luck brother

Thanks Paul! Advice taken.

Really good idea.....nice job
Thanks Rick! It saves time and money.
Can I ask you did it still take a lot of muscle to get ahold of it once you got it out? I was going to see if I could do this while my husband worked.
You need to be very careful. These posts are very heavy. I laid them down once I got them out and had one company pick them up as garbage.
Thank you. This is the first video I've watched with a method that might actually work for me.
I hope it works for you.
