Default Any tips on getting rid of ceramic tile?

Concrete sub-floor, no backer board. 40 year old 4 x 3 tiles with
yellow "mastic" as the adhesive. It's caked on good underneath and it's
old. I wanna prevent renting a Hilti/Kango with a scrapper cause it'll
cost $100 around these parts for a day. That'll be a last resort I guess

Solvents?

And type of manual scrapers?

grinders or some other abrasive?

I can't damage the sub-floor (concrete) underneath.


Big hammer, big scraper and some elbow grease. Crank up the tunes and
giver. Make sure there's a couple of cool one in the fridge.
