Tony you are probably right. This jack was designed for grubbing stumps and standing posts. My grandfather with a couple of helpers stood posts that were 4' in the ground and 20' out when he built a hay shed. The horse draged the post to the hole, a crowbar was placed in the hole oposite to the bottom of the pole for the poll to run down then the pole was jacked up several times using falked sticks to prop it between jackings until it finally fell into the hole.
