Is it Ok to use a 2 stage to clear ice storm break up pieces?
Original Message   Feb 5, 2011 8:13 pm
We had a lot of sleet and freezing rain early in the week which turned in to 2-3" of solid ice. I finally broke up the layer of ice in the drive way over the last 2 days. Some pieces where it up to 2 feet long or so and all of it was as very hard not slushy.

I chose to push all of it away manually with a shovel. Just wondered if anybody would have felt comfortable doing the cleanup with a typical 2 stage (I have an Ariens compact 22)?

I was worried the large amount of very solid ice would have been really hard on everything and may have broke the shear pins.

I've done it a few times already with my Toro 826OXE not sure if its good or bad but it cleared huge piles with no issues...........I guess it all comes down to how big and frozen the chunks really are.
