Just a friendly reminder,you guys with gravel driveways in warmer climates getting measureable snow with rear blades,as I have seen several here;your gravel is not frozen real hard if not at all.Turn the blade around -don't present the digging edge to a soft surface or you'll dig your way to China.You'll be quite happy if you drag the blade in the float position,but reversed.For foward use or backing up use,just do it backwards.I know everybody checks in here often,just a reminder.

Up to 10 inches due today. We are now over 120" for the winter and 27 plow events. After last year's 153 inches I am ready for the spring to settle in. Thank goodness for my 60 inch rear snowblower on my B7800 and LA402 loader. I can keep my 1.5 miles of road open with my 9 ft. plow but the snowblower makes it so I have no snowbanks to contribute to mud season which comes next! Can't Wait.

Thanks number two, great reminder for those with experience and great advice for those of us with very little experience.

Yeah, blades and gravel are a bad combination unless you have good skids or gauge wheels. Turning the blade around is a good method to keep from biting. Trouble is the blade action is too fouled by the support spindle and snow wont divert as well. Try slitting a pipe to fit over the cutting edge. That way you can use it forward.

No doubt that the pipe over the cutting edge is the best way to use a blade on gravel!

Snow is here! Here in Little Rhody, we ended up with about 10" with the possibility of a couple more inches coming today.

snow is come & gone. We barely got enough to call it a "dusting"

I'm getting really tired of the snow. I already have plowed 35 hours this winter and its snowing again today. Bring on Spring!

Thavil-

Well, we got a good 5-6." We haven't gotten that much snow in a few years, and it does it in March. The power was out most of today because of it.
