Bought a snow blower the other day, so there won't be any decent accumulation this winter.
You're welcome.

You basically drag it out. I've looked into Hitch-N-Plows, even thought about just making one myself since I've got a winch on a receiver hitch already. The plow blade itself is the most expensive part.

My dad did that around 5 years ago. Dealt with snow removal the year before and said "I'm too old for this shit." Went out and bought a tractor (for other uses as well) and then it never snowed. |

looks ok, but i'm not sure how well that would work with the way my driveway drifts in. sometimes over 3feet deep.
usually the wife scoops out to the road so I can get my truck out and take her to work. then the neighbor comes over in his tractor after he gets all his stuff bladed out. I need to figure something out before she has a damn heart attack and I have to sit around waiting for him. sec

Conversely, my buddy in town bought a snow blower a couple years back, and man I stacked the shit on him. I told him it NEVER snows that much here to need that big of a unit. 2 months later, I borrowed it because I was going to shovel all day. |

I kept looking for a used blade on Craigslist but none came up. A local store was running a $65 dollar off sale so I bought a Cat 0, 5 ft plow and added a drawbar to allow it to fit a Cat 1 spacing. Tried in on the gravel driveway and I'm impressed. If snow get too deep or drifts I'll just turn the blade around and push a little at a time till I can drag.
