I bought this engine hoist for this purpose. I own a deck building business and always have to move piers out of my way. I bought a farm jack and tried it about 5 different ways and failed to accomplish the task as easily as I have this time. The hoist cost $262.98 at northern tool, that's a simular store to harbor freight. The concrete anchor is a 1/2" x 5" and I just used a turn buckel on top to pull it straight up.
