Hey Mike..like the show a lot. Taking on jobs and showing just how hard some folks work. I had to send you something after watching you pull the steel posts episode. It took like 90 min and a struggle for sure. Well man I can help you out with that job. I have pulled many steel, and wood post's even a power pole with a tool. That tool is a bumper jack. Mine came out of a 1975 Cadillac Coupe Deville so it was strong. The first thing is weld the base to the jack, an absolute must. It is easier with two people but placing the base of the jack against then post the wrap a chain around the post then rig it to the jack. One guy holds the top in and runs the jack, the other guy rigs chain until it grabs. once you get it hooked you can jack them straight up. In that ground you may need to hit the post under pressure a couple times but they will come out. It took me 2 days to pull the power pole. Water and a click, more water couple more clicks. It was 6' deep and in clay. Actually those guys need a farm jack. Same principle but very strong. With my jack I bet 15 minutes would be enough to pull those post's!
