Jack. Get it off the ground or you’ll never get it.
I like brake fluid better than dish soap. WD40 or penetrating oil if you don’t want to drop coin on brake fluid.
Personally I want the ether method as long as you video it.

But you do need a TON of power out of your PTO to really spin one of those us and get them to bite worth a damn. Otherwise you're just gonna hit things pretty slowly and either bounce off or just flat tear through shear bolts.
As for shear bolts - whatever you do, DON'T get impatient and throw a grade 8 bolt in there and try to power through shit. That gets...expensive.
(I mean, you're gonna do it anyway, but don't do it often. Sooner or later you will break something you wish you hadn't...)

Backhoe? I think those small trackhoes rent pretty cheap. I live where there is dirt so I don’t have a good solution for you. (No rain, but there is dirt LOL)
Yeah those things take a lot of power. PTO isn’t a particularly efficient application of horsepower anyway. But yeah, tell me you shelled a gearbox without telling me you shelled a gearbox
