You must have read my mind.That would work well, as long as none of them break off or at least you pick them up if they do. They really do a number on a tire.
One year I ran my picked sled up and down the icy hills on my road but that didn't work so well as the sled is designed to distribute the weight.
The problem I have with scarifying ice is that this time of year there's enough flow during the day to recoat it, like a natural zamboni. Even today, when temps never got to 20 degrees there is still water seeping from last week's warm spell.
One thought I've had is to convert a box blade so that I can slide my pallet forks into it, and use the scarifiers on the ice. That would prevent the need of taking your rear implement off.
During the winter I either leave the pallet forks on to move totes of firewood or attach an old rear blade on the front using a SSQA to 3PH adapter,,,same as the unit shown in post 20
After my previous post I got to thinking...I can fab up something that is semipermanently attached to the square tube member at the bottom of the SSQA adapter plate When I need to scratch up the ice, remove the blade and scratch away.
