SPINJIM 1,986 #1 Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) About a month ago, I said I would experiment with the blade tilt top-to-bottom adjustment. I've played with the tilt through two snows now, a light fluffy snow and today's heavy crunchy icy snow. Set the blade tilt at the top hole for awhile and then the third hole from the top. With fluffy snow, it didn't make much difference. But today's snow was a better test. Third hole with blade tilted forward at top, the snow piled up and slowed down the plowing. With the tilt adjusted to the TOP HOLE, the icy snow was picked up and thrown to the side. I'm convinced that the kind of snow we've been having here in southern PA is much better handled with more tilt. If I wanted to PUSH snow or dirt, less tilt might be okay, but for scraping the driveway, more tilt is better. Edited January 31, 2019 by SPINJIM 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KC9KAS 4,744 #3 Posted January 31, 2019 Your wear bar will make some difference too! If it is wore with a very sharp point on the front edge, then tilted forward, it will "cut" into the ice easier! I pushed a 10' street plow for years with a cab over engine dump truck. Often times the blade would trip forward almost parallel with the road and that sucker would cut ice like a hot knife though butter! This was due to the sharp leading edge of the wear bar. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
