Bingo! I agree. About a 45 degree angle and just go for it. Another bit of advice is to not wait until you have 12" of snow. I find the rear blade works best for up to about 4-6" of snow. Just plow the snow a bit more often and it is so much easier. Like I said, I have a circle area, and I find sometimes my front wheels slip while turning sharp. I put snow in the FEL bucket to stop that.

It really isn't rocket science. My advice would be to start using that rear blade now - and enjoy it. I have blacktop and use the steel edge. It really doesn't damage it.

Yeah I did not intend to allow 8+ inches of snow to accumulate. Unfortunately this particular snow fell mostly during the working day. So I was at my day job which provides the funds to make the tractor payment :) If it had been on a non-work day I would have plowed several times during the day just to keep ahead of it.

I'll start to play with the back blade. Obviously it will also provide more weight to the back wheels and help reduce wheel spin there.
