The basic 'ingredient' of Mountain Home, AK farmer Charles Jackson's Homemade Fence Post Puller is his front loader with pallet forks and two-way hydraulic connection. From one fork to the other he ran a crossbeam onto which is bolted a hydraulic cylinder and a hinged curved clamp. To pull a post from the ground, Jackson positions the loader to where the clamp can be closed around the post then lifts up the loader forks.
