JC's Stake Puller - Fulcrum Pivot Principal

The Handle is made of Schedule 40 pipe. The Pivot Pipe is 2-1/2" diameter. The Tool Steel Heads are Heat Treated and Tempered for hardness, strength and long lasting.  

Pop the stake head up using the rigid lift head -- up far enough to get the ratchet head under it
.
Placing the pivot pipe close to the lift head will give you the most leverage.

If the Stake has been in hard ground a long time, I will tap the stake head like I was hammering it in, just to break the ground grip.

The stake puller can also be used to pull chain disposables using the 1/4" lift head slot. I use #3 welded chain on my  disposables.

When you have the stake head up 1" to 2", then use the ratchet head end.

The head will bite into the stake and you can begin to ratchet it up. Drop the head and get another bite.

A lot of times, I put my thumb on the ratchet head to push down and get another bite. Repeat until the stake is out of the ground.

For soft, wet ground, I carry a roughly 7"x7" piece of Plywood to place under the pivot pipe to keep it from sinking in the ground.
