Snow B7500 and rear blade position in snow

[mwechtal]

cchoate,

Hey, simple, easy and it works! What more could you ask for?

Do you have any problem with snow packing around the wheels?

Could I ask where you got the wheels?

Thanks!
Mike

The wheel came from TSC and were $16 each I think. The weight of the blade keeps the wheels turning and they clean themselves. They swivel in any posistion so going forward or backward is no problem.
As you can see, I need a welder. Drilling holes and using bolts and nuts is sometimes not the best solution.

Shawn, I've tried skid shoes, but I really get better results just floating the blade in reverse.

Until the ground freezes on my gravel driveway, I put the blade in reverse so the cutting edge does not cut into the dirt. This works quite well! After the ground is frozen, I turn it around so the snow will fall off the blade better. The gravel never moves after it's frozen.
