I have searched for this but not finding the definitive answer. I have a new snowblower that I have now had the opportunity to use. Most of my clearing is on Gravel cover surfaces. My blower, a John Deere Frontier SB1174P, has some narrow adjustable skid shoes. It's early in the season and the shoes tend to dig into the road and not provide the clearance I am looking for. Thinking about making some wider, longer shoes that won't be so prone to digging into the ground, to raise the cutting edge out of the gravel. Has anyone found this to be effective? I have also seen where people put a piece of pipe or conduit on the cutting edge of the blower in the hope to reduce the gravel intake. How has this worked for folks ?
Thanks for taking the time to answer.
