Do you have any suggestions on how we can bring this basketball hoop down?
Try digging around the base and cutting it off below ground level – that should do the trick!
Just pulled off this move with an old flag pole
O ahead and cut down that post and give it a good yell of ‘timberrrrr!’
Are you looking to remove just the hoop or the whole pole?
Use a truck and a large tire to cut and remove the post.
Investigate what the base is anchored with. If it’s too difficult to remove with a jackhammer, consider using a sawzall or grinder to cut the pipe below ground level and then bury it.
You might be able to use your tractor to pull the post out.

A powerful slam dunk should get the job done
If the hoop doesn’t move much when you shoot, the base is likely 4 feet deep. It’s usually secured by 4 bolts. Simply loosen the nuts and cut the protruding bolts. I’d recommend leaving the base as is.

Saw-z-all
Et yourself a 4-wheel drive truck and tie it up to pull that bad boy right out of the ground. Or just leave it be, let the neighborhood kids enjoy playing outside, away from their video games and phones, for some good old-fashioned fun

Need a tall ladder.
Dig about 6 inches deep, grab a reciprocating saw with a metal blade, and cut below the ground level… That’s how I tackled a similar project recently.
