I've been thinking of buying the 8ft everything attachments rake to help groom a gravel drive. My total driveway is about 4/10 mile, with 60%of it gravel. Been using loader bucket to clear snow..... not an issue on the blacktop portion but gravel, different story.
In southern Illinois we don't get an abundance of snow, but of the three years I've been here... 18" snow first year, 10" next year, and just had 8" followed by another 1.5 inches. Gravel portion drifted shut twice. Once within 2 hours. I need something better than the bucket for this. Being retired not enough money to buy the right things so trying to determine if one purchase can serve multiple reasons.
