Hello all, new member here. Recently purchased a B2650 with snowblower and have a poly spreader that I would like to utilize to throw some salt type product on my steep gravel-stone driveway after I make a pass or two to keep the icing down when needed.
For those of you who have used a salt type product, what have you used with good results. I see rock salt at Tractor Supply for $6.50 for 50# bags, which is good but doesn't really perform in the lower temps, then of course there is better Calcium Chloride for more then double the price to be spreading around.
This is my first driveway like so in this climate where it will be a struggle if I dont get it right.
Any help from the members with similar type driveways that can be challenging in winter months, I would appreciate the input on what you have used or have had issues with.
Thanks!
Billy.
