Hi John,
Going back to my days in the 'circus' tent poles where pulled with a lever.
Picture a 6'- 7' bar with a 18" T shaped leg attached to it about 18" from one end.
The large side of the T rests against the dirt and a short section of rope was wrapped around the pole and the short end of the lever. A tent pole being about 3' would come out enough in one shot, a ground rod may take more.
That said the workers where happy to see me come over with a front end loader to just yank em out.
How's it going down there?
