Any advice on plowing techniques or adding some kind of field expedient blade shoes welcome...thanks.

My driveway is paved so I have no first hand experience with using a rear blade for snow removal on a gravel driveway. I have heard others state that they have have success on gravel driveways by turning the blade backwards so that it does not dig in. Others have also purchased or fabricated skid shoes.
