[TowerTalk] Removing ground rods

[Joseph DeVincentis]

I've done two things.

1.  Use a fence post puller similar to this: https://amazon.com/T-Post-Puller-Fence-Post-36/dp/B088SV1MPD/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=fence+post+puller&qid=1617115713&sr=8-5

2.  When that doesn't work, use an angle grinder with a cut off wheel and cut it off about 6" below the surface and abandon it.

Anyone got an innovative way of getting 8-foot ground rods out of the ground? I'm taking down my 160M RX and TX setups for the summer and have one stubborn one.  I've tried the visegrips and even tried to use my car jack to press against the visegrips, but the ground is too soft and uneven for that to work.
