Snow Pusher works good !

I think I've already plowed more than last year. Road was mostly soft last year so used the tractor a lot. This year things have been frozen solid from the start so haven't used the tractor at all. Truck is much faster but likes a frozen road.

Tractor with the bucket and a homemade edge from Trex decking for clearing the driveway. 500lb ballast on the back.

Ariens 10hp 32" walk behind blower for the sidewalks, around the deck, backyard area for the dog, and a path to the bird feeder.

That was mine very early this morning, now the truck is all melted off. The concrete and the gravel/dirt still has a lot of ice.

Iced up here as well. I almost fell on my face just trying to get to the barn. It's well above freezing now, so I think I'll wait and let mother nature melt some of it before I do battle with the road.

I'd like to see more pics/info on how you installed the gauge wheels on your rear blade

Your wish is my command. Here are the pieces all blown apart.

And here is a close-up of the "finished" product.

Note: The cheapo air-filled tires you see in this photo lasted, literally, one pass before they were shredded, so now it has 6" solid rubber tires from HF.
Also Note: This was supposed to be a "prototype" and not intended to be the final product. However, it worked so well, I just pressed it directly into service and forgot about it. Didn't even paint it. The square tubing I used was cheap, thin wall stuff, but the actual plan was to use trailer hitch gauge material. Maybe someday I'll go back and make the "final product".

In summation, I don't know how anyone uses a rear blade without gauge wheels and I almost never take these off.
