We call them jeep jacks, Hi - lift use to make the best jeep jack. They make a excellent come a long for stretching fence, one nan can plum a heavy gate with one, the handle works good to tighten chain binders down, or to knock a big drunk out. I've used a hammer and gas to get them working, but never had one hurt me. You got to be smarter than what your working with.
Life is good live it while you can.

The post puller works the best but it you're going to use the Hi-Lift, one of these gadgets is fast and easy to use with it. This is one of several variations. Source for this one?

Can you give me dimensions and thickness? Might just try to cut one out of plate.
I pull posts with a welded ring on a chain to a hook on the bucket. It does slip some, but gets it done sometimes after a couple tries.
One of these is mo betta.

Amazon has a similar one. T-POST PULLER PLATEThis one can be used with a chain or just hook if over the lip of the jack.

They look simple enough to make?

You learn to respect them real fast and carry a can of oil with you.
We used one to winch our pickup 20 yards up a steep lake access during the winter... 3 foot at a time.
Not as dangerous as railroad jacks we used on crawler tractors
Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?

I grew up with them and they have saved my bacon a few times where I didn't have a winch. I have pulled truck back up onto the road, 30" at a time, I have pulled trucks onto trailers and fixed many a flat tire. They are dangerous if you don't use some common sense.
I do not oil mine ever- I carry a can of teflon dry lube. when I tried oil, all i did was attract dust which there is plenty of in Arizona. Dry lube spray is the miracle lube for Handyman jacks. I have an old one somewhere that still says " Handy man" on it. My current one is a High lift. I usually keep a rebuilt kit on hand to replace pins and springs to keep them safe. I have also had occasions where there was no place to hook one. That tire video looks like it would be pretty slick. I usually carry a 12x12" piece of LVL to set the foot on in soft stuff.

dennis,
The tire lifting attachment is slick as heck. You lift the tire directly, instead of lifting the body and suspension, then the tire.

I've seen a lifting strap that goes around the tire rather than hooking into the spokes. Many trucks don't have spoked wheels so the strap with hooks doesn't work.

I’ve done that with a welded ring on the post end, but slips. What kind of chain are you using? Not been able to get it to bind.
