The owner demonstrates the wrong way first, showing how a post can launch like a projectile, then walks through his chain-wrap method that pulls straight up. Includes a rough graphic explaining the physics. Short, practical, and safety-oriented; best for B2601 owners who need to clear old fence posts.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on experience from his own 33-acre property, with a DIY perspective rather than any dealership or commercial affiliation.
As the loader lifts, it puts outward pressure on the bottom of the post, launching it like a projectile. In testing, one post flew 12 feet from the front of the tractor.
Wrap a chain around the front end loader leaving slack, wrap the other end around the post several times, then hook it to itself so the loader lifts the post straight up.
No. The video shows this method can throw the post several feet, including one that disappeared entirely after being yanked and was never found again.
