This past weekend was the fence extravaganza at the homestead: rip out 120' of dilapitated chain link fencing and replace it with a new wood privacy fence. I was dreading the pulling of the chain link posts, when I decided to try something: grab and pull them with the wood splitter. Worked like a charm!! For added insurance, I borrowed my neighbours BC 610, as the 440B is pretty much tapped just lifting the splitter.
Just grab them, lift slightly to preload the post, wiggle them a bit, and out they come - concrete and all. The splitter also pinches them flat, so breaking the post off of the concrete lump is easy.
I also sheared off about 25' of over-grown cedar hedge at the same time. Don't even have to get out of the seat!!
Cheers,
