'Feet' on rear blade

[Egon]

Replace the feet with wheels.

I'll have to think about that idea..................

You need to reverse the blade on soft drives.

Like this. )O=o going this way =>

Yeah, I do sometimes, but other times I get wrapped up in trying to solve a problem, if you know what I mean. Nice diagram

I know what you mean.

Put a pipe over the cutting edge (you can search on TBN -- it's a popular suggestion). I have tried a few things, but like the pipe best of all. It lets me scrape down through the snow without digging into the gravel. Here's a pic of the pipe edge I made:

You need bigger shoes, the ones I have on my RB3584 Back Blade are mushroom shaped and do not dig in when ground is frozen, whether pushing snow on lawn or gravel but when ground not frozen just the heavy weight of the blade is enough to cause shoes/skids to dig in.

Same here.

They dig in when unfrozen but when frozen, I don't even need them. I made them to use hoping they would not dig in on unfrozen ground.

Yep for sure, it was about 48 degrees here in West Charlton, N.Y. Lawn is all soft and spongy, can't push any snow on lawn now but then again there is no snow on the ground,Lol.

These are the shoes I made for my Rhino blade. They work great.

Do they dig in to thawed gravel? Those are pretty much exactly what I have.

If it is real gooey like when the frost is coming out, I try not to plow at all. If it is a solid and firm gravel (just not froze yet), they don't dig in. They work great moving big piles back during mid winter across the yard (froze). Early in the year when the turf is still soft, the shoes still may dig here or there.
