I have a MF35 utility tractor with a front end loader and have been thinking about building a toothbar. It may be that I've come up with a good reason to do so..
We have a limestone driveway that's gotten pretty darn hard since we moved in six years ago. It was built with crusher-run limestone which has turned to an amazingly hard surface over the past few years. The problem is that potholes have developed in spots and they're growing. The damp spots in the upper left of the picture are where water is collecting.
The loader on the MF35 can't even begin to dent the surface. It just bounces along the top and occasionally digs up a loose rock or two and that actually makes the problem worse, not better. I'm trying to figure out the best way to fix this. I've thought about getting a toothbar in hopes that it'll allow me to dig the surface and reset the grade once again. Or, just dump more loose limestone on top and try to fill in the holes that way?
(The tractor pic is just to show the machine. There's no snow on the ground here now -- just slimy mud as things melt.)
