I think you'll tear up your driveway,..but MIG can weld those T Posts just fine. Be sure to get good penetration.. you will want to bevel the weld areas with your Flap Disc or grinder to assure that you get it.:)

Roundup didn't work?? I've had very good luck with it (too good...if it gets on the "keepers"):o

I wouldn't be surprised if the t-posts are rerolled rail steel and somewhat high in carbon.

I made a similar attatchment for a back blade on an 8N Ford.
I made the frame from old angle and welded rebar cut offs on for scarifiers(rippers).
The drive it was tested on had gravel and large (2-3") stone in it and it worked fine.
