    Any one any idea what the best way to take back up steaks out of the ground?

    I have some 5-6 inch steaks that were put down last year in the wrong place now - is it possible to take them back up to put down again with steak driver??

    Small chain around the top if them and pull them straight up with the loader should work

    Were you trying to grow beef? :-)

    Raise hammer out of the way and have lift down. Back in tight to the stake and wrap chaib around. Then rise lift slowly. Up they pop.

    Or chain round them at ground level and use the lift arms of the tractor to pull them up.

    A nine hole bar, chain and rise lift handy will lift stakes.

    That was a big mis-steak alright:D

    The frontloader is great for the job. A lifting strap around them and pull straight up.

    i normally find a chain wrapped 2 or 3 around the butt of the post and a steady pull with loader or arm of the tractor.

    I find if you chain the top half of the post and you dont have a straight pull you break the post

    When the post is out of the ground refill the hole
