Plowing over gravel

[Grouse Feathers]

Quick tip for anyone with a rear blade and gravel driveway. If you have a rear blade, turn the blade around backwards (angle it as well) and drive forward. It will give you a perfect plow without digging in. It is strictly the method I use on our gravel drive.

It will even work reversed on unfrozen lawn, if it is not wet and mushy.

I would always just set the shoes down about a half inch on gravel with the ATV. Did the trick. Not sure how that would work with a heavier setup.

I made a some bucket skids like these for the bucket on my B2620, and they work pretty good, see my post at: http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18496

Using float they don't sink into the gravel enough to start scooping gravel up, but if your not paying attention and the ground isn't real hard yet you can get a little too much tilt forward on them and too much down pressure and dig in pretty quick. If I had to do it over again I would have probably made them a little wider.

I have the same question. We haven't had to plow yet, not enough snow to bother my 4wd F350 yet, but it's coming someday. I have been hoping someone would report on these used on a gravel driveway. (or in my case, cinder driveway)
