Strange. I wonder how it came up for me to see it to make a reply.

IDK either, but sometimes I get fooled into replying to the older "related" threads listed on the bottom of the active page.

Take care,

Both you and the previous poster are replying to an old thread from '07....

LOL, you also!

Mark - Is this a lot of snow; rough ground; etc.... I was wondering if you would be just as much ahead to simply drive through pulling a rear blade? On gravel or dirt I can turn my RB backwards and drag it to clear snow without messing up the trail/drive by digging in. Maybe weld a smaller vee shaped drag to mount on your 3PH? also, running this in the float position will help to avoid scalping and tearing up your trails too.

Again...if your moving 30" of deep snow at a time this approach may not work.

I agree especially as he only expects 5" or so of snow at the most. I have a 650' driveway and both a plow truck and a tractor with a back blade. If the storm is only 6" or less, I use the tractor with the back blade angled. While I have skid shoes to run the blade, reversing the blade as Champy says will work fine. The blade will just hop over those small rocks and roots on the trail. If you were pushing a snow plow the plow would dig in to rocks and roots, not fun.

By the way, my wife has horses here in NH and thinks nothing of riding through 5" of snow. But I suppose you already have tried that line of reasoning.
