Neighbor had the same problem. What you need is a bigger tractor, say a 4020 or a 756 or 1855 or bigger, and a westendorf loader with forks on it. This is a two-man operation in that you can"t see what you"re doing worth a d*mn from the tractor seat, but the guy out front can direct you. If you can get the tips of the forks to dig into the ground enough to just get under the slabs of concrete, when you lift the loader the cement will break up in chunks. Then you can remove it without any problems. The hard part is getting the forks to start digging into the soil just a little ways ahead of the concrete so they can get down far enough to get under the slab. This is easy if it"s just a cement slab, it"s tougher if you have concrete footings 18 inches deep.
