Snow New to me snowblower

[tman1020]

Gotcha, I'll probably try a wire wheel on a grinder first, if not, I'll dig out the old sandblaster. Thanks!

Glad to hear it worked as you expected, I just got mine in August, haven't had enough snow to use it yet, we have a dusting-3" forecast for today, but that's not enough to bother with for me.

I'm going to grab a piece of 1.5-2" pipe for my cutting edge, gravel driveway

Honestly probably wouldn’t sandblast again. The grinder wire wheel should work well.
I don’t think a piece of pipe will be necessary I was able to adjust my top link to avoid most of the gravel but we really didn’t have much snow on my gravel area to try it out. How much PTO horsepower are you going to be running with yours

Good to know, I'm a big fan of that combo anyhow. I'll give it a go without the pipe, but if it starts digging, I'll probably go that route. I'm just worried about the elevation changes in my driveway, might dig a bit.

My machine is about 37PTO HP, depending where you look it up. Still runs like a top, and turns a 6' flail mower through fairly thick grass pretty well so I'm not concerned about snow moving. My low gear reverse/ first is very low if need be.
