Hydraulic Stake Puller

A tool for pulling tent stakes inserted into the ground in which a tent state comprises an insertable length, a top flange, a bottom flange, and an inter-flange length, and in which said tool comprises a first portion, a second portion, and at least one hydraulic hose connecting said first portion to said second portion,

• A. Said first portion comprising an engine, a hydraulic pump, and a hydraulic fluid reservoir,
• B. Said second portion comprising a hydraulic piston,
• i. said hydraulic piston comprising a longitudinal axis, a transverse axis, a top, a bottom, a cylinder, and a piston rod,
• ii. said cylinder comprising an inside surface having a diameter, an outside surface, a top, a bottom, a first claw, and a second claw
• iii. said piston rod comprising an outer surface, a top, and a bottom,
• iv. said outer surface of the piston rod having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the inner surface of the cylinder,
• v. said bottom of the piston rod bottom further comprising a foot portion, parallel to the transverse axis of the hydraulic piston,
• vi. said piston rod capable of extending from said cylinder by a maximal stroke length,
• vii. said first claw being located near the bottom of the cylinder, and comprising a platform and gap in said platform at least as large as the diameter of a tent stake, but not as large as the flange of a tent stake.
• viii. said second claw being located near the top of the cylinder, and comprising a platform and gap in said platform at least as large as the diameter of a tent stake, but not as large as the flange of a tent stake;
• ix. said first claw and said second claw being separated by an inter-claw distance;
• x. said inter-claw distance being approximately the same as the maximal stroke length;
• and
• xi. said inter-law distance being approximately half of the tent stake insertable length.
