plowing a uneven gravel driveway up hill and down really sucks!

I get amused when I read the posts about the many ways of moving snow.

I brush mine off. Steiner 420 with a RS350 brush. It works great. Right down to the pavement. Fun to use too!

I kept the tractor parked in the warm barn and used this $100 snow blower to clear the gravel driveway this year. Yes, I had to adjust the skids and scraper to leave my gravel in the driveway, but it was a champ. Now the tractor will sit out winter.

My dad got one of these when I was in high school; I think in preparation for me to go to college. That thing sure beat using a shovel.

We’ve had a bunch more snow this year than usual. We have 3/4 mile of gravel road to clear and I use a back blade on float. No extra weight. It’s done a good job pulling the snow off and leaving the gravel alone.

That works on pavement, not gravel.

Yep. But you might have to fiddle with the top link to get the correct blade position that works for you. The key is the cutting edge needs to drag behind so it operates like a squeegee. If it’s too upright it might dig in a bit. But nowhere near how it digs with the cutting edge facing forward.

Seems wrong and like the pivot point would be in the way stopping snow from rolling off but i will give it a try.

About 1 hour should do it

That looks awfully nice for only $100

You do have to angle the reversed blade to make snow roll off.
