I bought a Kubota B2650 with 600 hours on it, i got a rear 54 inch snow blower with it and a 72" front blade that mounts to the front end loader it's a quick attach. I also got a rear blade.
I have a long uneven gravel drive way and i can't really get down to the gravel with the front mounted blade. For one i don't want to tear up the driveway and i can't push very much or the tractor just spins or the front end will be pushed off to the side. Even if i just try to remove a little bit at a time.
The tires are loaded and i have the rear snow blower on the back for weight.
I'm at a loss on what to do, for example what should the angle on the plow be? It is tilted to one side as the previous owner had it you have to adjust it by hand.
I feel like the 72 inch blade it to much for the tractor and i should buy some chains for the rear.

I have a larger blade on the front of my smaller tractor.
I usually keep it tilted to one side and plow in smaller bites (5-6" snow and I start).
Do you have a lot of turns that have slope or are angle down?
Are you on any steep sections?
What tires do you have on it?
I have R4 tires.
To keep the blade above gravel you can use Edge Tamers, which are like little slides that keep the blade a bit above the solid (gravel).

No turns really there are two small hills in my road and when going down hill or up hill it seems to mess with the blade height plus it's not level.
The previous owner said to use float so the blade will just follow the road but it still digs into the road. His road was flat and straight.
edge tamers? It came with these things. They keep the blade about a inch off the ground.
What i have looks like this.........this is not mine.
Thanks!
