Snow XB Back Blade for snow?

[lanschuetz]

Just be prepared for some serious scrape marks left on the hard surface from the blade, (I found that out when I used it on the concrete pad in front of my garage........if that's not an issue with you then again the back blade works fine.

I can't tell you timely this thread is. I'm actually heading to TSC
tomorrow morning to look at back blades (even smaller than 60" is
OK on my B6200). I do have limestone gravel now but will have
concrete and/or blacktop by Spring.

I have a neighbor that has a discarded back blade that he wants me to
consider, but he wants to put (at least one) guage wheels on it. At first
I thought that was never going to work, but now am considering whether this might just work if (a) you go backwards and push with he concave side also
facing backwards and (b) the wheel(s) are on the convex side. I think
his notion is that is that these will do less damage than even skids
though it may leave more snow on the driveway (IMHO not a big deal).

I haven't had time to see if this can be made to work, but it's an
interesting concept. If it doesn't I too was going to look at softer
sacrificial edges for when the concrete and/or blacktop gets done.
