    Thanks a lot for all the help.

    I managed to remove all the 12 posts, really hard job but finished in 1 day from 10 in the morning to about 7 in the evening, After that I had no strength to even get the posts from where they were lying to the skip, I might need help to get them to the skip as there is still some concrete attached to the post which is making it really heavy, but once they were removed and I was digging in to make the rest of the soil level, I found last owners probably cut the posts out and put new ones in to the side which I have removed. So now I have about 10 new concrete bases, if there is a post attached to it, its slightly easier as you can push and pull it to make it loose, I did get a breaker and broke the concrete but that one is not even breaking, it has got metal rods in between them and are a lot lot stronger and harder.
    I have dug about 700mm deep and i think they finish there but since there is no post to hold it on to I cant move it about.
