Thanks for the suggestions, had a full day yesterday, just now able to get back online.
Here in my part of Maryland hard winters are very rare. Sometimes almost no snow at all and relatively mild temps. Then every few years a blizzard. And even in blizzard times it's usually the case that it warms up right away and everything melts. The plow truck idea doesn't make much sense--as appealing as it is to have another broken-down piece of junk around that may or may not work when I ask it to. I have enough other projects.
I believe the driveway now is limestone. The former owner chose it because it's more attractive than crusher run or bluestone or something like that.. In any case, it's white. Came from a quarry not too far away so I have to figure out how to get more. I have contacts with dump trucks and skid steers who can help and it shouldn't cost huge money.
Long-term I'd like to put down asphalt. Driveway gets light use, nothing too heavy right now. Concrete would be ideal but I'd have to dig much deeper in my pocket for a driveway this long.
And yes, I could just pay someone to plow it the few times we get heavy snow. But it being dirt and gravel, I'd rather be the one doing any damage to it rather than paying someone else to tear up my driveway. Overall it's in pretty good shape.
It's something I'll have to sleep on.
Here's a visual. You can see the dark spots where ruts are starting to form. This is the worst part, everything else looks pretty good. Thanks again for the suggestions.

Today's Featured Article - The Ferguson System Principal An implement cutting through the soil at a certain depth say eight inches requires a certain force or draft to pull it. Obviously that draft will increase if the implement runs deeper than eight inches, and decrease if it runs shallower. Why not use that draft fact to control the depth of work automatically? The draft forces are
