Right that's why I want to pull snow, the frozen banks can get like stone so I deal with them with the
FEL. I'm worried about bending the
3PH hardware turnbuckles plowing backwards...
...I use my blade all the time to spread gravel and flesh out swale holes etc. Right now after reading through the experienced suggestions above my plans are to 1 foot sections of 3" PVC on each end of the blade with 4 holes
cut in the PVC so I can secure the PVC to the blade. I'm hoping the gap in the middle will clean up the packed snow packed down from the tires. truthfully if it leaves an inch or 2 in the driveway...that's no big deal.
Thanks to all for your input, right now I use a 42" plow blade on our Cub 1440 which works real good but my neighbor uses his york rake to remove snow from his gravel driveway and suggests that I would save even more time using my 6ft blade. Can't believe I've had the blade for 10 years and never used it for plowing yet.
