[QUOTE="jklingel, post: 13135, member: 1409"] I've only done about 50-60 driveways now, but have realized two key points. Before we have a few NIGHTS of about 40 degrees, hard pack is just that, and sticks to the ground real tight. We wait, if at all possible. Two, like Ken said, a toothed bucket works 10 times better than a straight bucket. I had a customer who thought I would never get his hard pack up with a skid steer; he teaches machine operating at a mine here. But when I showed up w/ a toothed bucket, he said "Go for it. No problem." If I read right, you said it was -30? Holy Ice Cubes; let the stuff sit there till Ma Nature beats it up a little, if you can. [/QUOTE]
