I did that once.. I placed a set of Vice Grips on the rod and then used
a common shovel. Used the shovel as a lever and eased the rod up a few
inches at a time while remounting the Vice Grips on the rod as the rod
would ease out..

It might help to soak the ground and torque on the visegrips
to see if you can break it loose. It mught make pulling the rod a lot
easier.
