I have no issue with -10 starting with block heater. Synthetic hydraulic oil and engine oil helps. No block heater and 0 is probably max .

I have the SB60 but Im having a hard time with managing the 3point and level of the blower. If the terrain goes up even just slightly it digs in. The feet are also digging in a little even though I have angled the blade and feet up as far as I dare go.

Did you try flipping over the blade so it’s flat? blunt/not knife edge down? Mine came with the wider feet double the old width. I have my feet set so I got 1/2 gap between flat ground and knife edge. On blacktop.

Sorry to derail... but what brand is this plow? (quite quite read it through the fuzzyness of the photo) Mind my asking the price point is?

Just finished installing the cab and extra led light. Let me know if you see something wrong.

The feet on the SB60 are useless, drag very hard. I need to come up with something different because its not working-they dig in too.

Could you post some photos of how your machine is setup, and separately of your driveway conditions?
I have a Woodmaxx SB72 that I'm using on a fairly rough and uneven (brand new in mid-2017) gravel driveway and parking area. I am not having the kind of problems you describe. I've experimented with several different adjustments so I can try to offer some advice, but photos of your setup and conditions would help.

I haven't had any problems with the feet on my SB72. Most of the time they are not hitting the ground. My driveway is paved and I have the blower tilted forward somewhat to get good contact with the scraper edge and the driveway. I did add a hydraulic top link. My driveway changes slope several times and the hydraulic top links makes compensating for slope changes easy and fast. I do have a part of the driveway that goes back to my barn that is stones but i haven't tried the blower on it. I think I would have to drop the feet down because of the stone. We haven't had much snow this year and I don't care about a few inches of snow on the driveway to the barn.

Will work on getting the pics this weekend. I have to replace a busted hydraulic line before I can get it going again. My drive way slopes down from the garage and then up to the main road at the ends. The blade doesn't even touch the driveway only the feet.
On the rest of the property do have ups and downs on a grass and I compensate that by raising and lowering the blower.

. This is the newer double wide feet they just stared delivering. Then I bolted on some 1/2 UHMW on the bottom of them and it worked well. Slides on pavement. When I get into my grass I lift the 3pt a few inches and off we go. Otherwise it would become a power rake.
