Back over first couple light snows with blade down to remove a LITTLE snow and pack a light layer onto the gravel road then plow angled forward for rest of snowfalls(plowed gravel roads in state parks for 37 winters that way)

I use the fel on my mahindra. It has a float position on it that prevents to much pressure and digging in. I would not curl the bucket on it in float though as it will ride on top. It needs to be level to remove the snow properly. I have dealt with greater than twelve inches at once without a problem. When it gets to built up I empty the fel to one side and keep going. My driveway is three hundred feet with a turnaround and parking for four. I love where snow removal is a must on the Canadian border of ny.

You need skid shoes for your blade, I built a set for mine that are adjustable with washers for soft or hard ground. In deep snow break a hole with the bucket and clean up what's left with the blade.
