Use a high velocity portable gas leaf blower. Their also excellent for controlling a fire when burning a field.

I thought I had it figured out by reversing my back blade so that it did not cut into the gravel when removing snow. But some gravel did get plowed to the sides, into the grass, and now I have to try and reclaim it when it dries a bit. It is my fault for doing too good a job of pushing the snow too far off the road and it took more gravel than I had anticipated, looks like a runway, lol. I used the front snow blade, no angle, and drug it back in float to get some of the gravel out of the grass. That did a fairly decent job. Anybody have any other ideas on how to recover some of the gravel with the equipment I have?
B2650, FEL, manual front snow blade, rear blade.
I think a Landscape rake is the best for this operation, but it doesn't sound like you have one, so manually rake it back to where the blade can grab it and put it back in the drive. ;)

I use an Echo power sweeper. Does not damage the grass and get’s all the gravel. The bonus is you have the power head so you can get other attachments.
