I don't mow with my B3030 HSDC, but I do everything else that you mention and it is more than adequate. Regarding the gravel driveway, the snowblower works fine if you start out right at the beginning of the season and use your head. I haven't broken a sheer pin in many years on my driveway. Below is a picture of my gravel driveway 2/3 of the way through the snow season:
That's great to hear; plowing makes a mess of our driveway (and lawn), so I'd greatly prefer to snowblow (not to mention it looks so much nicer and you have more control over where the snow goes)....
thanks for the picture - looks great!
