If you have a tennis club or school tennis club you can request the dead
tennis balls and use them as T- post toppers they work well as long as you
don't cut them to big and your Fjord takes them of to have a new toy!
We also have a T-post puller it's the handles of the ponder. If you place
the handle down the middle of the post and catch it on one of the knobs,
with a strong pull or two they come out. Sometimes both myself and my
husband or kid have to grab a hold. We have clay soil so they do stick, but
this method works well for us. IF were lazy or we have a whole line of fence
to move, we attach a chain to it and pull it up and out with the tractor. We
already have one of these so there is no extra expense other than the beer
after a hard day fencing : )

Subject: More on T-posts

I have been following the thread on T-posts and I agree they can be
lethal. A neighbor of ours lost their horse when she impaled herself
on a T-post. But, I have to add, our whole pasture/paddock system is
surrounded by T-posts, BUTeach and every one of them, and there
are a couple hundred or so, are all capped with round plastic
tops. Not a guarantee that nothing will happen, but at least if a
horse jumps, rubs, or what ever else they can do to themselves, they
have a chance to bounce off. As yet, we haven't had any injuries
using these T-post toppers and we've been using them for over 12
years. I highly suggest anyone that uses T-posts top them with T-post
caps.
I would also like to mention, there is a tool called a T-post puller
that works great for pulling T-posts out of the ground. They sell
for around $35-$40 in many farm and equine catalogs. We have one and
it works great. We have had to move fence lines many times and this
tool gets those T-posts out of the ground in no time. Well worth the
price.
