Hi Guys
I am pretty sure I know what you will tell me but here we go. I move snow with a 6 foot rear blade behind my Bobcat CT335 (HP38 for size comparison). While moving forward with the rear blade angled aggressively it moves the rear end of my tractor sideway preventing me from getting the snow off the drive. Gravel drive 1/4 mile long. I have added a pipe over the bottom of the blade to keep the gravel on the drive. I am thinking rear chains on my R4s (actually just missed some dual link off craigslist for $80) will help keep me straight.
My blade lives outside and is likely older than I am so has some surface rust. Next summer project is to sand and repaint so it will not collect snow. That cannot me helping me. I am even thinking of a coat of auto wax for the surface of the blade. Anyone ever done this?
Thanks in advance. More snow monday but this should be minimal compared to the 12" that was pushing me sideways. We do not get enough to justify a blower.
Thanks in advance
