    Leverage is your friend

    From time to time I have been called to remove cyclone fences, and they have added to scrap pile.
    But the way I was doing it was a lot of work.



    Found a few videos of fence posts being removed but this one is closest to the method we are actually using.

    Great vid except the near nudity. Perhaps one of our "English" speaking members can confirm the meaning of the term "knackers". I believe it means crazy. Mike

    depends on the context, knackers is an australianism like digger, champ ect.
    so you meet up with someone you do or don't know, in a friendly, fun way you might say.. g'day knackers.

    knackers can also mean googlies, or balls.
    like, I got kicked in the knackers.

    and then there's knackered, which is like buggered, or pooped you might say.
    dragged in so many tv's the other day i'm knackered.

    then there's the animal slaughter houses, we call them knackeries.
    like the horse didn't win a race so it's off to the knackeries with him!

    it's surprisingly a common word considering it doesn't really mean anything.

    Drill a hole through, insert rebar, then the same process.

    they make a fairly simple steel post puller. It would probably be easy enough to duplicate with a bit of scrap metal
