Remove Embedded Ground Rods

goes back to the lamp too this is about a ten-minute round trip to my neighbor's house carrying logs and that is an old tobacco drying shaft cool now for the educational part of today's video we've got a ground rod driven in the ground and basically when I move my goats around with this premiere one fencing and I'll show you that fencing it's this portable fence netting that I have the goats in when I move them around I'll Drive a ground rod just like that probably about I don't know 20 inches into the ground and that provides enough ground for the solar fence charger to work I've got a couple place throughout the field right here and I want to go ahead and get them out while it's on my mind before I accidentally hit them with the bush hog because the grass will be every bit as tall as that ground rod later on in the spring let's get it out I'll show you exactly what to do so oftentimes you'll have a ground rod in here to get mushrooms on the is if it's mushrooms on the end you may have to do a little cut and cut it off right here but basically I just take a link from the chain and I slide it right over top now I've got this pretty cool chain that I like to use it's about five feet long and it has this big hook on it so I can take the hook and I can hook it right over top of my bucket so there it's a bucket or whether it is your straight blade or whatever it is on the back here trakula or the front of the retractor this will work just fine so we've got it hung up here and we want to pull straight up and out or as straight up and out as we possibly can so we'll slide a link right over top of the ground rod like so just like that and when you pull up on it it locks it into place pretty nifty it's locked on there good take my loader handle pull straight up pretty cool it works like a charm didn't hurt the ground rod one bit and it came out really easy now if you do this with the rear implement on your tractor expect to have to get a couple different bites on it you want to get a bite down low raise it up as far as you can and then get another bite raise it up you want to slide your chain down probably about a foot on your ground rod just to make sure it gets a good bite cool can't hardly see the ground rod here go ahead and do this one here also slide the link over get it down there just hang this up out of the way we'll pull it out nice pretty simple easy way to pull out ground rods I hope you learned something
