Dino,
This is the same technique we used at one of the phone companies to remove
utility poles. First the pole was cut exposing four feet of pole stump. A
special hydraulic jack was placed next to the stump and chains attached. The
jack only had a lift of about two feet. The jack was then energized until no
further lift was possible, de-energized, chains repositioned, and the action
repeated until pole was absolutely loosened.
Sure beat the heck out of using self-starting shovels and digging the bloody
things out.
Semper Fi,
