Thanks all for the good wishes concerning my head. All is well now. No pain either. When I worked on a farm, I used the front loader method too, but don't have one now and never thought of the lever - that's a good idea. As my German friend said, "Was einen nicht umbringt, macht ihn haerter."..."What does not kill you, makes you stronger." Chris

When you recover, and need to remove another T-post, use a lever. 1 - it's easier, 2 - you are several feet away from the post. I grab an eight foot (should be feet, but it sounds wrong) 2X4, some rope to tie it to the T-post, and an empty 5 gal can to use as a fulcrum. The greatest danger is from splinters.
