Snow Attachments Plowing snow with rear blade

[Erallain]

I'm going to adjust the 'bit' of the blade as you were saying Stonehaller. I adjusted it in the other direction landscaping last spring.

You can push, but you risk bending a swing arm designed more for tension than compression. (Yeah, I push sometimes...)

Can you rotate the blad 180 degrees and pull it with the convex side facing forward? This technique has been discussed in other threads.

the 'bit' of the blade

Guess I was tired last night. I meant to say 'bite'.

I have a 7ft woods blade (RB84 I think) - I have been using skid shoes to keep the blade about 3/4"-1" above my gravel drive and pull forward. This has worked well including the 18" snowfall with the december blizzard. I angle the blade to the side and also change the bite with the top link as suggested. I tried the PVC pipe trick also and shattered a piece the first time out - too brittle in real cold weather. Some people have suggested using ABS as it is less brittle, but I couldn't find a short piece at the big box stores. My blade does also reverse so you can pull it forward with the convex side forward to also limit digging into the gravel.
