Kurt-NEPA 755 #6 Posted February 8, 2017 Both of my 520H's are set up with blowers and ready to go. Forecast here is 5-8". Not even a challenge. Bring it on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,523 #7 Posted February 8, 2017 Had a blower, never used it. Sold. My drives are all stone and millings. Thought, not good for a blower. Was I thinking wrong? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JAinVA 4,636 #8 Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Tankman, I run a single stage on a gravel drive.I put 8" wheels on it.No problems with stones launching.With the standard skids gravel flies.I don't think you are wrong but I like the wheel setup.If you plow on a gravel drive,gravel seems to always ends up where it is not meant to be.

plumb-r 34 #11 Posted February 9, 2017 The wife has blamed the lack of snow this year on my tractor waiting in the garage, all dressed up for snow removal. She said I can't put the plow and chains on intill the first snow flies next year. A few inches may get me off the hook though! Much needed seat time! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The gravel does end up in the wrong places. Especially when we "endure" repeated snow "events". Springtime is Grandsons spring tooth rake time. Nice Horse you have there JA! I do like your wheel setup too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JAinVA 4,636 #13 Posted February 9, 2017 Tankman, Wished I could take credit for the idea.I saw them on one of squonks blowers and thought I'd give it a try.JimAnderson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
