The neighborhood I live in and virtually all the houses around here have stockade fences. The builder of course did cheap fence. Wooden posts and low quality fence panels. Over the years more than a few posts rotted out at the bottom and broke off. Most people just put in two posts, one on each side of the rotted post because the big glob of concrete is a real pain to pull out.

I rigged up a fence post stump puller outer. I drove the longest lag bolt I can find down into the wood part and that lag bolt is through a piece of chain I have. I then run the chain to the top of a new fence post, and use the old one as a base to prevent it from being shoved into the dirt. I just lean back on the vertical post and it is a big lever to pull the old stump out. It worked great. It helps a lot to have a two man team.

I pulled out 6 of mine and a neighbor saw me doing it and came over to investigate. We ended up doing several of his post stumps. All of mine I replaced with metal U shaped posts and used deck screws to hold them on.

My dirt is 100% clay. Just clean the organic parts out and make bricks. Post hole diggers are a real pain to use. Take a bite of dirt, use a scraper to clean off the clay, then use a second scraper to clean off the first scraper. Repeat.

Vash you are good neighbor. The world needs more like you.
