How about getting a "bumper" winch? Do you have a pickup you can drive in part way and pull them out? Put the wheels on sheets of aluminum and they'll pull easier.

My problem too. some are sunk in and there is no way my fourwheeler could pull them out. I was hoping to get some cutting torches and some oxy/acetylene but no cash right now. ill find a way to get them out someday somehow.. there is about 4 around my town i have my eye on
