Last year, I found that my snow blower would dig into the snow and get driven into the gravel.
So I thought I gotta do something about that , assuming that last winter and this winter might have the same snow level.
I had a couple of old , small tires, so I figured that they might just be the trick. They have enough of a foot print so that they could resist the down pressure from the blower once it gets into deeper snueau.
The pictures show the outcome.
I found that it is best to try to keep the blower in as straight a line as I can. It doesn't like sharp turns. When i need to make a sharp turn, I raise the blower.
So far, it's working well, leaving about 2 inches of sneau above the gravel.
BTW, after the winter, I remove the long angle iron, and mount the wheel underneath the foot of the existing depth skid, - that lets me roll the blower away, easily, after disconnecting it from the tractor, and into its summer parking spot.
