Been thinking about making some drift cutters for when we get really deep snow. I used to plow with the storm, but now I rather just go out after it is finished snowing and clean it up all at once. A few times, I had to keep the snow blower (BX2750) a couple of inches off of the pavement, just to get through to the end, and then come back and take a second 1/2 bite just to be able to get it opened up. Those times, the snow kept falling back onto the driveway, and I am thinking that drift cutters will give me a cleaner edge to work from.

I don't have drift cutters on my tractor blower, but installed them on my 30" walk behind. I don't get enough snow to really justify drift cutters, as the last big snow we got was 3 years ago.

If we had more snow I would definitely install some on the tractor blower, like practically all of the big commercial blowers have in snow belts.
