Thanks for your quick reply Lyle! Sure wish you lived closer to Edmonton. I'd hire you for some work. The operating engineers training center is a mile up the road from me but they were not interested in doing any work at my land. They said they didn't have insurance to go on the road. I'm directly south of them at the end of dead end road. My neighbor is the only one who lives down this road. It's kind of a shame because the students would be working on an actual job type situation instead of just playing in a field.
I got the H beam donated and the teeth and adapters are about $18 a set so it's not too bad. I only checked at Titan supply so maybe I could find the teeth cheaper or get a discount if I by a bunch? I need new teeth on the backhoe too. I may put depth skids or gauge wheels on it. I'd have to try it out first. It will be 3 pt. mounted so I can pick it up and back up easily. My neighbor looked at what I want to do and he's not sure a chisel plow would even dig it when it's baked. A chisel plow would probably take more power to pull too. I can go over it a few times if I need to at different angles. I have a box scraper and it will stop the tractor if it digs in a little too much. That's why I thought if put the teeth straight down, they'd just rely on the weight of the beam to scarify the surface,kind of like a really heavy harrow. The packed soil is clay with sand mixed in so it's very abrasive. That's another reason I thought about using easily replaceable teeth. If it works, it will get a lot of use.
After it's broken up I can water the track. Watering it first helps but then I need to wait for the water to soak in and soften it up. I wanted something that I could groom the track fairly quickly with that wasn't going to be prone to breaking or need a lot of maintenance. In videos of similar type pulverizers you can clip along pretty fast. Often once the top crust is ripped up, there's still a fair amount of moisture in the ground. Weird Alberta soil I guess.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
