[QUOTE="Opie11, post: 250711, member: 323"] Update as of yesterday is really no progress and it may be worse than when he started. I think using the heaters to try to thaw the ice around the outside was probably not a good idea if you can't finish the job once you start. I was the one pushing snow away with my utility size lawn tractor/loader yesterday. Didn't trust the ice around it to hold the skid steer up. SDMF and Allen pretty much hit the nail on the head for how it got that bad. Inexperience to some extent, being unable to get to it because of snow events and just the miserable cold weather in February. Crap happens! The owner I believe is lining up an overhead gantry type system and we may try to get it hooked up and then cut it out. Will see what size stuff he comes up with. I still haven't taken a picture, because I would feel bad if he became an ice fishing site meme. I understand it might help to come up with ideas to see the extent of the problem, but I just hate to see the picture get passed around and laughed at. Maybe I'll post some if we get it out successfully. [/QUOTE]
