Abstract
A probe bar remover () for loosening and removing probe bars from the ground includes an elongated member () with an engagement end and a handling end. The elongated member () also includes a foot plate () along the elongated member () oriented toward the handling end. A bar engagement member () is coupled to the elongated member () at the engagement end and can include an engagement gap () for engaging a probe bar (). A fulcrum () can be oriented along the elongated member (), which contacts a ground surface, and a handlebar () is removably coupled to the handling end of the elongated member. To remove probe bars from a ground surface, the probe bar remover () can be engaged with an exposed portion of a probe bar () and a downward force is exerted on the foot plate () so as to at least loosen the probe bar () from the ground.
