Pull them and reuse. Put two half hitches around them and the chain want slip.

Start wrapping chain from top-down about 3 or 4 times and lap the last wrap back to the first wrap. Wish I could explain better, but his makes the chain grab whatever it's pulling on. I was taught this while on a water pipe crew and never had a chain slip off a pipe.

One man operation, put a loop in chain big enough to go over post. Hook other end to loader leaving a few feet hangin. Drive up to face of post(side with notches) raise chain and slip over post lower bucket till chain is at lower end of post. Drive forward while liftin bucket to bind chain on a notch and then nuff putt it out. After its out a good shake of the bucket and post should fall out of chain. Move on to next one. Make sure loop is big enough to go over post easy so you don't have to get off tractor.

Don't mean to side track but if your installing T-posts can it be done with a tractor? I've used spring loaded drivers but always wondered if there was an easier, faster way. Absolutely. It's a 2 man job and the best way that I have found is to cut a piece of steel pipe the height you want the posts to stick out of the ground. The pipe needs to be large enough to slip over the post. The pipe should also not be so large to slip over the cleat on the post. Put the post under the bucket and apply pressure. Once the post gets 6" to a foot in the ground (depending on the length of the post) the pressure will be on the pipe and not the post. The pipe will push on the cleat and push the post in the ground. When the pipe gets to the ground, stop pushing. All the posts will have the same amount sticking out of the ground and with the pipe on the post the T-post won't bend like it will trying to push them in the ground without a pipe over them.

I've pulled up 100's of T-posts with a tractor and chain. If you have a 2 man operation it's a whole lot faster. You don't have to double wrap the post. Just use a log chain and pull up the posts from the "front" side. We've got a short chain that we use for nothing but pulling up posts or setting large wood posts. Wrap the short end of the chain around the post and put the loose end over the end that goes to the bucket. When you pull up with the bucket the chain will bite on itself and won't let the short end pull out.
Hook the chain to the bucket with a hook that's welded to the end/top side of the bucket. If you don't have a biting hook welded to each end of your tractor bucket you're missing an important tool....

I think I can handle that. Great info Fur! Thanks!!
