When NEW a rear blade has sharp corners, you might dislike what those can do to a driveway.
There are a number of posts about pipe edges and hard plastic cutting edges.
If you get one that can be swung around and run backwards;
a) Your learning curve will be easier,
b) It might ride up and over the snow if it is light and the snow is heavy.
c) The driveway damage while the corners are sharp will be less.
You can get around b) by taking smaller bites and/or getting out there before it gets too deep.
a 'NOTHER enhancement is to replace your side links with chains, so the blade can follow the road and not dig a corner in when one side of the tractor goes over a bump.
By the time the corners are rounded you will probably have a better idea of what you are doing and can turn it around to face front.
