possum skinner possum skinner trapper Registered: 12/25/06 Posts: 2393 Loc: Virginia 38 - act 10 - feel 68	So what do you use to pull your rebar stakes? Here's the best thing I've ever used ... been using it about three years and wouldn't want to do without it Dig out the top of the stake with the end ... slide onto rebar & slide/pump rapidly to pull stake out of the ground ... works great with minimal effort ... slick as cat sh poop Beats the heck outa using a crow bar or claw hammer etc. _________________________ You know why?

Can put boot on backside pick and push down while pulling the handle back, pop's them right out, sometimes both at one time. _________________________ I ALMOST survived SmackDown Tupelo '08!

Kevlar of MI Kevlar of MI trapper Registered: 01/22/07 Posts: 291 Loc: Southern, Michigan	Skinner, Did you get the idea from Mark Steck, "Dry Land coon trapping" video. I seen apart in the movie where he uses something like what you have to pull the stakes. I made one kind of like the one you have. I had one of our engineers and our tool room guys at work modify it and build it. (We got to keep these guys sharp, since the auto industry is slow we have to keep these professionals thinking. LOL) The one I have is actually a Puller/ Driver. Based on the slidehammer design mechinacs use. Kev _________________________ Running and Gunning at break-neck speeds.

It just gives you a good handle to get ahold of. It works especially well on snare stakes where the grass is wrapped around and piled up on them. I just swing it at the ground like, and when I hear it hit metal I know I found the stake and can work it under without digging out the stuff to expose the stake head. Our soil is firm here too for the most part. I make them just about the right length so I can use my legs to pull instead of my back on hard to pull stakes. I made mine from ½" round rod. It is about 20" long and the two ends are about 1 ½" long the T-bar handle is about 6" long. All it really does is give you a very good handle to pull on the stakes. I heat the rod to make the bends and it is important to make the one bend on the main rod less than 90 degrees so it actually points up a little. It is also important to be sure the T handle and the bends are oriented the same as the picture. That way you can swing it into the ground at the stake, it goes right under and makes pulling them very easy. Sometimes I have to hit the stakes down a little to break the frost then hook this under and they pull easy. ~ADC~ _________________________ All new site ---> Iowa Trappers Talk

TexA TexA trapper Registered: 12/24/06 Posts: 2079 Loc: Estherville, IA	If I can't just pull up on the trap chain, I carry a piece of 1 x 1 x 1/8th" square tubing. Mine is about 5' long, has a crosswise "foot" on the bottom end. On the underside, I welded on a 3-piece chunk of chain and attached a log chain hook to the chain. The attachement point is up about 20" from the foot-end. I hook the chain-hook over the trap chain and lift on the other end of the 1 x 1. There isn't much that I can't pull. I have busted some 1/8th" cable in frozen ground trying to pull a 2" POGO out.... ******** ****** **** ***** ***** **** A Modified BUMPER JACK will jack-out or break-off just about anything that's driven into any soil too...... **** ******* ***** ***** ***** ****** IF all-else fails, a Tile Spade gets the trick done, or the anchor/stake stays in the ground until SPRING! _________________________ TexA Member Iowa Trappers Association National Trappers Association
