Abstract

A sub-surface pole removal frame having a main bar extending downwardly from a handle bar and fixedly attached to a rectangular solid plate and connected to a pivotable work lever connected to an attachment member, first and second main struts extending downward at an angle to a first and second horizontally extending foot on opposite sides of the base, that form two triangular openings, such that the pole remover stands upright in a stable configuration with both feet on the ground, the solid plate provides a mount to secure a lifting mechanism with a flexible synching loop or grapnel, and a wheel assembly mounted to a rear portion of the frame, wherein the mount on the base is wedge shaped, wherein the wheel assembly is fixedly attached with two poles connected to the rear portion of the solid plate, wherein the struts are rigid tubular metal.

A sub-surface pole and pole foundation removal frame comprising:

a portable frame having a solid rigid rectangular plate comprising a first proximal and second distal opposing long sides and opposing short sides and with two forward extended legs from the base along the opposing short sides;
a vertical arm fixedly attached and extended from the middle of the proximal long side of the base with two diagonal braces connecting the arm to the outer end of the base at the two opposing short sides;
two diagonal arms fixedly attached to the approximate middle of the post at one end and connected at each of their distal ends to each of the forward extended legs;
a pivoting arm extended from the post connected to a lifting piston;
a flexible cinching loop or a grapnel operably connected to the pivoting arm;
the lifting piston slidably mounted in a cylinder having a top and bottom and operably connected to the pivoting arm at the top of the cylinder;
