Attached a pointed strong tip a subsoiler to use as an icebreaker.

I'm on a gravel driveway. I shovel off the snow, but enough gets down & stays in the stone. Two times in the last week it rained during the day and then got down to the teens at night. I had places where there was 2" thick glazed ice.

The subsoiler was slow, but worked great. I hooked it up backward as it was easier to see the progress & the wheels got better traction.

EDIT - added pictures...

Smart thinkin'

Similarly, my paved driveway got a coating of 1" of ice. I used my FEL to get under it and shatter it. It looked like a bunch of windows had been busted in my drive when I was done.

...Cannot get pictures to post - will try again later.
Most likely you'll have to reduce the file size, people with dial up would appreciate it too :thumbsup: Make sure you don't have the photo open in another program. Looking forward to them ;)
