TCowner, I agree with Egon, too. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif So, on an unfrozen gravel driveway...
1. Angle the bucket back a little
2. Use float
3. Go slow
4. Keep your hand on the FEL control so you can quickly and smoothly adjust the bucket as needed.
5. Practice, practice, practice.
I'm better this winter than I was last winter and not as good as I will be next winter. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif No matter what you put on the bucket edge, I believe that it's the angle of the bucket that determines if you dig in. I have a mark on the bucket level indicator that I can easily see from the seat that tells me when the bucket is level. However, with the different terrain I plow, some places a level bucket can be too aggressive and other places not enough. That's where practice on your driveway comes into play.
