A fencing device 1 comprises installing means for driving the posts 5 of the fence into the ground. These posts are provided with a pointed lower end 9 so that they can easily be driven into the ground. The net with the posts attached thereto is wound on a reel 11. The installing means gradually guide the posts from the reel to the ground, while the lower ends of the posts are driven into the ground. For guiding the posts, the installing means are formed by a guide consisting of a top guide profile 13, two side guide profiles 15 and a bottom guide profile 17. When a temporary fence is erected, the first post is to be driven into the ground manually and supported with a cable or pole. Subsequently, the fence will be unwound from the reel while the trailer is moved on.

A system and method for removing stakes from the ground including an apparatus for removing the stakes; means for engaging the removal apparatus with the stakes that utilize interlocking angled surfaces; steps for positioning the removal apparatus on a stake imbedded in a ground; steps for sliding the removal apparatus along the stake in an upward motion; and steps for engaging the removal apparatus with the stake to allow the upward motion of the removal apparatus to remove the stake from the ground.

The present invention is a multi-functional, T-post puller tool for performing tasks related to outdoor fencing, tree planting, ranching, farming, house fixing, and the like. The multi-functional tool includes some, many, most or all of the following: a wire holder; a bubble level; a T-post pulling guide hole; a pulling hook/chain hole; a wedge; a magnet; a wire hook; and an insulator guide. In a non-limiting, preferred embodiment, the multi-functional tool is a rectangular-shaped plate or card that includes a first end, a second end, a first or front side, a second or rear side, and a pair of edges or sidewalls. The rectangular-shaped plate or card further includes some, many, most or all of the following: a wire holder; a bubble level; a T-post pulling guide hole; a pulling hook/chain hole; a wedge; a magnet; a wire hook; and an insulator guide.

The invention (hereby known as Tee Buddy) is a t-post puller that removes t-posts for barb wire fences and other fence applications. The Tee Buddy attaches to the front bucket of a tractor using the chain and hook. The Tee Buddy is positioned over the t-post until the lever locks over one of the ridges of the t-post. Once the Tee Buddy is secured over the t-post and the chain is attached to the front bucket of the tractor, the operator lifts the t-post out of the ground. After the t-post is removed from the ground the operator manually operates the lever to allow the t-post to drop out of the Tee Buddy.

A stake removal tool configured for removing in-ground stakes, the stake removal tool comprising an elongated member defining a proximal end and a distal end, a carriage, and a lift system configured to drive the carriage along a longitudinal direction of the elongated member. The carriage comprises a chassis and a pivoting member configured to pivot about a fulcrum and defining first and second engagement members. As the lift system engages the carriage to displace it downwardly in a longitudinal direction of the elongate member, the first and second pivot members may be forced to pivot thereby engaging and dislodging a stake.

Devices and methods for extracting objects from substrates are disclosed. One embodiment has a first end with a tapered handle and a second end with a dowel. The dowel can be a steel dowel and include a beveled edge enabling engagement with a hole in an object. Another embodiment can include an intermediate portion connected to and located between the first and second ends. The device can be manually inserted into a hole in a stake. Once engaged with the stake, a user can apply torque in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction several times to loosen the stake from the substrate. When loosened from the substrate, a user can apply a pulling force away from the substrate to remove the stake.

A vehicle supported implement for handling separate loads independently, and related methods of use, are presented. The implement is configured to move a load, such as a hay bale, rotating the load radially about an axis, from a first position at a first elevation to a second position at a second elevation. It includes a first frame member and a second frame member pivotally connected to the first frame member at a joint. The axis of rotation intersects the joint normal to the back side of the first frame member and the second frame member rotates radially about the axis of rotation between the first position and the second position. The implement includes an actuator, such as a hydraulic cylinder, connected to the frame members to control the rotation. The implement includes an attachment feature on the back side to secure it to a vehicle.

The Wedge-Lock Safe-T-Puller is a tool that provides a safe and simple way to extract a T-post. The tool uses a captured sliding shackle that travels along a wedge to provide a positive grip between the bumps on a T-post and the Post Alignment Groove on the post side of the Wedge-Lock. Using a lifting shackle or sling attached to the lifting eye at the top of the tool, force is exerted vertically, causing the tool with its wedge to slide up the T-post thereby tightening the sliding shackle against the front of the T-post. This sliding action causes the wedge and sliding shackle to “lock” together to grip the T-post. The greater the force applied, the tighter the wedge and shackle grip. The Wedge-Lock Safe-T-Puller is intended to be operated with mechanical lifting equipment such as a front-end loader, track hoe, backhoe, Skid Steer Loader, etc. The tool may also be used in conjunction with lever and stand type manual or hydraulic extractors.

A post driver and remover for the installation and removal of posts includes a post receiver having a post receiver body having a driving end and an opposite driven end. The post receiver body defines a post receiving space having an open end adjacent the driven end and a closed end adjacent the driving end. The post receiving space is sized and shaped to receive an upper end portion of one of the posts. The post receiver body also has a first extractor and a second extractor. The first extractor receives a first post of a first cross-sectional size or shape, and the second extractor has a different size or shape from the first extractor to receive a second post of a second cross-sectional size or shape.
