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.
One of these. It's called a Speeco Post Puller
You need to take about three wraps around the post, not a single. Ir won't slip then.I suse a1/4" chain about 4 ft long. I put a hook on the top of the bucket to latch the chain into
If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles

Yup. Pulled a lotta posts T and wood with a bucket. It's easier with a helper who can hold the tail of the chain, but I've had to get down and readjust plenty But if you throw a half hitch with the chain it's usually easy peasy.
I used to lift from the bumper, but anymore I use the Lift Mate wheel attachment. Easier and faster since you are lifting the wheel directly, and not dealing with suspension droop.
Or, I lift from the receiver. Preferably with a receiver shackle.
That is slick. Need to get one.

With training and common sense, the Hi-Lift is a great tool.

They all need watching and care, but hte farm jack is in a class of its own, sure enough.
And back when I used to 4 wheel a lot I'd carry a old steel car wheel. Lay it face down on the ground, & set the base of the Hi Lift down in the back side. That saved a lot of busted shins, or worse. Have sometimes, when jacking really high, I've taken a strap or my tow chain & wrapped around the jack & the bumper to try & save teeth.
I didn't even watch the video. Seen too much stupid stuff in person.
