What's the easiest (and cheapest....yeah, I know...) way to break up old fence post cement. In adobe soil so the surrounding area ain't too soft either....I've been going at it with a 3 pound sledge, chisel, and was thinking of a 10 pouind sledge, pick/mattock or wrecking bar to try to do the deed ....cheaply. I suppose a rotary hammer would do the job but to use that tool for one job hardly justifies the $150 (for a cheapie) outlay. Don't mind the sweat , just the glacier like speed of destruction. I'm just replacing the uprights as the rest of the fence seems to be survivable for another 5yrs or so.The damned ivy is probably holding up the fenceline better than the uprights. TIA Pat
