shameless 3 #1 Posted December 24, 2011 Hi Guys: I have a question for all you experienced snow blower operators. What are the best shoes, skids to use on a blower like this that will not scratch up my asphalt drive or my neighbors concrete drive? I have them set to keep the scraper blade about 1/16" or so above the ground and the lead edge of the blower body up about 1/4". The shoes on this unit have 3 bolts on each for adjustment. and are about 10" long and 3/4" wide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
