Rear Blade REAR BLADE

[frank_f15]

i always get confused about this. when plowing snow if u want to make the rear blade less agressive do u shorten the toplink or lenghten it? guess the same principal would apply to any use of the rear blade.

When plowing snow I shorten the top-link.

Look back in the posts on rear blade around the beginning of November.

Lengthing for going backwards?

Shorten it for snow, Frank. You want to skim the ground, not remove it. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

The paving on my driveway has been so undermined by the groundwater, that the rear blade is gonna remove it no matter where I set the toplink. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Have you tried reversing the blade? I find it much easier on the gravel driveway for the first few snows.

Great idea, JAV. But I don't know if I could do that with Maine snowfalls. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif We already have 6".
