Got some in the ground

[rem270]

Which part do you want to see? The hardware ? or a set in the ground?
I like the idea of those super stakes but I would need the tractor to pull one back out of our hard rocky ground.

The hardware please.

Those super stakes with a chain are a beast that's what I use never had one fail me yet . I use the stake puller that MTP sales to pull them . The only thing is you have to be careful where you hook it if you don't weld your J hooks shut .

I have the same puller and it does great. As you said about the j hooks I've had a couple j hooks bend out before. I keep extra j hooks and the j hook tool to fix or replace them when it happens. That's a good idea on welding them as well.

The chained super stakes are definitely a beast. I've never had a Berkshire fail and they are half the cost. Get a 2 inch auger like you use to plant flower bulbs for your cordless drill. Drill right down beside the stake and you can pull them by hand. The auger makes a fine dirt hole for your set..'m going to pull a trap after while nd I'll post a pic.

Berkshire disposable attached to an mb550 with a 3/16 quick link. Tighten the link with a wrench or pliers

Thanks for the pics and info @square I may give those a shot just to try that out. I have some quick links attached to some of my DP's but didn't think of using them for foot holds. I only have 4 foot holds out right now but tripped them Tuesday. I'll get back at it once our late muzzy season is over next weekend.

Ok. So I'd like to start out small. 4 traps at least. My question is how are you guys anchoring them in the ground ?

Highly recommend going to the Minnesota Trapline Products website and buy their MB550 predator starter kit, or something similar. They are fully rigged out of the box. Dont really save much $ buying all the hardware and setting up yourself on just 6 traps.

What else will I need to Get started

That is a really good starter kit. I prefer the laminated/cast jaws over the offset, but if you are specifically targeting coyotes the offset are fantastic.
You will need a big pot to boil your traps in. and probably a pair of gloves. Other than that, you are off to the races.
