Ice scarifier

[AKnate]

Looking to build an ice scarifier for in the skid steer for my dooryard.

WBM makes a nice one with carbide inserts, like graders use. Have heard them called "Stingers" but it's about $11,000.
Just the inserts are around $15-20 each, some in 50 packs. For the maybe 5-6x a winter I'd need it, a set probably last forever.

Came across this and got me thinking. Actually surprised "bed frames angle iron" didn't instantly fold up?


Just brainstorming a bit. As usual could use it now as it's winter here. but tied up with shit like working.

Bed frame angle iron has 2 grades: butter, and AR500.

This what you want.

Build one from old plow disc, you don't need to do the serrations.

*Disclosure: I've never used one, but the youtube and internet says these are awesome.

I'm failing to see the point.

Break up the surface for either traction or to let chemicals penetrate for faster de-icing...

So the dooryard and driveway isn't a skating rink.

Pretty sure that's for on hot top or concrete. Don't see how that would work on dirt.
