After reading all these posts, this is how I am going to try clearing the snow. I am going to turn the blade backwards and clear only a few inches at a time. When I get close to ground level, I will turn the blade and drive forwards. As I have a short gravel drive and it is flat, I am hopefully this will work..... I do get drifts from time to time (max 3' high). These are what I am worried about and will try to chip around them to clear. I am going as suggested to try it without the chains and if needed get some. One point of consern is damage to the tractor and the blade. I recently knocked over a stump with my tractor and blade. A couple of times the blade made contact with the stump and the tractor did not move (couldn't budge the stump). I never used a lot of force hitting the stump, but did run the engin full when trying to knock it over (blade already touching the stump). I did no damage to the blade or the tractor doing this. What kinda damage could I inflict on my equipment with snow? I have a 7' King cutter blade. I think as long as I go slow and don't wait to long for the snow to pack it I should be ok. I will post what works and does not work here in the future after it snows. Thank you for all the insite and your experences.
