Wanted to borrow
Blowed if I know where to put this post, so it's here where I know everyone.
I would like to borrow, just to try out, a 500kg chain type lever hoist, just for a weekend. I'm in Heidelberg but will travel.
If the chain hoist suits my needs, I'll go and buy one, or buy your's if you don't use it.
Let's just say it's for pulling something out of the ground.

Digging up my money
RC, ssssshhhhh, what I don't want is people jumping over my front fence armed with picks and shovels.
I've dug up most of the gold anyway.

Borrow a lever hoist
Kyrn,
You are on the ball, you know damn well what I need the lever hoist for.
Pipeclay, I'll be attaching it to a fence post.
Everyone else can just guess.

Hi Ken,
If you have trouble with the fence posts pulling out, because they're rotten, try putting 4 star droppers in at a 45 degree angle, tying them about a foot above the ground to the one behind at ground level and so on. To get them tight, I twist the rope/wire with a bar like a Spanish wind lass. Believe it or not this is used to pull large 4WDs out of trouble..
If a ratchet chain is not available, a decent hand winch would do the job also, NOT the ratchet drum type. Even an ordinary Chain block would do the job, just run the light chain around a bucket of water, so it doesn't tie itself up, my brother used this idea to pull a palm out of the ground.

Lever chain block
Kyrn,
Thanks for your input. I'm trying to pull out something that's green, 30mm in dia at the base, and several metres high.
I have the loan of a lever operated cable winch, but it's a PITA to use, hence a chain type would be preferable.
Still looking for a loaner, beer will exchange hands.

Ken.
I have 250, 750 & 3000 kg here. The 3 tonner is brand new, only used twice. I bought it to get the angle of the dangle right on R.C's grinder arm. A six pack would cover it. I'd use the 750 myself, unless your up for a new fence. Failing that, I'm pretty good with Ammonium Nitrate.
I'm in most of the week.
Phil.

Amazing what Liquid Currency will get you. Pity, I don't touch it anymore and it's 7 years since my last drop .
