I currently have a moderately steep 900' drive that is road-base material. I have an estimate to pave it along with a drainage curb, and plan to use my future tractor to keep it snow-free. The snow here is mostly powder, so I intend to use a rotary-broom (using front hydraulics) to sweep it off. If it is wet-snow, I'll use the FEL to push it all downhill and off to the side. We get so much sun here that it melts pretty quickly. Just have to stay on top of it.
