How to extract a cement pole base

$

The former owner of my property had one of those huge 10ft diameter satellite dishes that he left when he moved out. I dismantled the dish a while ago, but the pole has been annoying me ever since. Today I went to work on it, but found out it is a monster of a cement base. The 1026 couldn't even budge it. So I was forced to use some old landscape lumber as a massive lever. I effectively quadrupled the lifting power, but could only lift it 6 inches at a time.

Thank you laws of physics.

Once it was out, and on its side I was hoping to just roll or drag it away. But I found out that if I bumped it up against the forks, it was just within the lifting capacity, probably by a few pounds. If I didn't get the Artillian forks, I don't think I could have lifted it. Low and slow over to the side of the garage.
