Here it is almost finished, just needs shortening a little so I can fit it in the rear draw slider, a handle welded on the side to make it easier to pick up and a coat of paint

What was the ground like where you tested it?, did the spikes go in easily?

Fairly hard, 8 to 10 hits each spike and stopped about 6 inches short as did not know how hard they would be to remove, would have been another 2 to 3 hits to drive them home, Rick

To be fair and honest the pic you see after winching was the second I took as, soon as I saw it moving I put them in to the max, Rick

I think 8-10 hits is good, what size hammer did you use?
