I am looking for ideas for homemade stake/cable stake pullers and also your methods of animal release . Not necessarily the sticks and loops; I have one of those, but other things you may use like shields and boxes.

My stake puller is a length of chain with a heavy duty S hook wrapped around a steel fence post. It’s length serves me well for the leverage because I can move the hook as needed. But it is kinda clumsy and bulky

Thanks

Good info Leftlane!

Dang that was long as a GCP or PF post and they speaka da english way better than us Texi cans do

If that doesn't make cents anyone direct massage Opps I mean message me.

How about one of those direct “massages” where I walk across your back?!
You wouldn’t be too happy about it, I got Vinke Feets!

LMBO I kin understand Vinke speak and occasionally a coon man phrase or 2 better than anyone who thinks whatever a wicket pitha is a good thang. Those gals would have to seduce me wid there eyes or their- well you git the picture. If they tried sweet talkin me my stimulational awareness might go into defcon III and I'd crawl up the fence PDQ. Purdy darn quic which IS kid friendly of course.

Medical skillz huh- are you full bore vet tech?

A regular ole catch pole for releasing and a 24v drill with a 2” auger to pull anchors. If the dirt is good enough to pound anchors in, then a drill can have each up in less time than it takes to get in and out of the truck. They don’t make anything big enough to pull them outta this clay down here when it’s dry, lol.

You need an emergency "Pedi" ASAP!

I pull my cables stakes with a pick. Is one with one narrow point one wider hoe type blade. The small point is ground down so I can get the point in number 2 machine chain if need to. I usually put the chain in a notch ground in the wide end. Then use the pick like you use claw hammer on nail pull cables. If the ground it really heavy. I stomp tile spade down along side the cable then pull towards that side.
I break a few cables or pull the ferrel off some. I do have couple places I trapped for many years. Where I left cables in ground. Never will be in anyone way or even be found in my life time.

Last year for the first time I used my 1/2 cordless hammer drill to make dirt holes. Found if I was careful worked good to drill down along side cables then jack the out. Get to close can get twisted up in the auger. Found that out hard way.

LL, If'n she ever says she got just the thing to help you take a nap. Run.... She doesn't mean a restful sleep. She's talking dirt nap.

Or you might wake up with certain things missing and a cone around your neck.

Stake puller I use is basically just one of these deals. Dirt cheap and easy to make honestly you could probably go to any school which a welding class and get a few built out of scraps they have lying around.


All you need is angle iron pipe a hook and a lil bit of decent chain. Pro tip . You can have it made so it's in two pieces the base. Witch would be the part with the angle iron and the leaver. Basically just down them like a car jack and you can have one part in your trap baskets and the other as a walking stick or way have you

When I was using steel stakes I took a piece of 2X4 steel channel about 4 inches long stood it upright drilled a hole in one end added chain then cut a slot to slip under the stake washer at the other end. Just drive the slot under the washer head put the loop of chain in the handiman jack hook and pump it a few times.

I use rebar 3/8 with 1/2 inch nuts beat on the tops

my driver , puller , digger is a 28oz estwing framing hammer that I opened up the claw on a little with the angle grinder so it fit on the rebar to pull the stakes

it still pulls nails fine also , I only modified the last part of it

Hahaha
