Every year I got sick and tired of having to spread the gravel back up in driveway because id always push some back from plowing then I seen this video this winter and tried it out and so fare it's been good i appreciate the info buddy it truly helped save me from having to spread the gravel back into driveway

[DeffHi]

And here I thought I was the first to try this. I have the same deal on my blade and it works great.

[alexwright]

It works!! Just did it to my plow just before a wet march snowstorm and it worked perfect!!

[willydallynobull]

I followed your advice and put 1 1/2 “ sch 40 plastic pipe on my John Deere 48” blade. Works very good. I removed the skid shoes first.

[jeanneaur]

Thank for the tip, I try it and my driveway never has been so flat Great idea

[pricetag]

Great idea!!!Ive been dreading plowing my gravel driveway for years!Gets old picking gravels off the grass come spring!

[unionratrod]

Thank you Roland, did mine today.It works smoother.Keep the good hacks coming.

[rotorbeam]

This is a great idea and as a plus, it allows the steering to work way better when making a turn as it makes the blade a slider instead of a brake.

[BitesOutBack]

This guy has got a fix for everything! Love it Roland and keep helping us out!

[DrewJacobson]

Great idea! My plough came without shoes and I really didn’t want to spend anymore money… This will be a great solution! Thanks!

What a beautiful idea I'm sick of shoveling gravel off the side of the driveway!!! I bet that'll work great for blowing the trails in the woods around here too.

[FrankAndTinaOfficial]

That's a really good idea Roland! If we ever move North I'm getting you on speed dial so We would know how to make it!

[Winnipeg_Jets_Fan]

What a great idea! Especially until you get that crusty layer down and frozen over the gravel then you can use the plow as normal. Glad i found the video, thanks!!

I have been using this trick for 3 winters now, with the same PVC pipe, even with over 800 feet of driveway.
I use it mostly in early winter, until a layer of ice forms and the gravel freezes in place.
Before using this trick, the Kubota's snowblower was scattering kilos of gravel in the forest, in addition to wearing out the paint and all the parts like a grinder would do.

I'll be installing a plow on my husqvarna garden tractor next month and cop ying this idea. I have a 250 foot gravel driveway tgat is a hassle to snowblow.

I heard about this hack, and tried it for the first time. I have recycled asphalt on a 1/4 mile driveway. Even though I use the hockey pucks “snow shoes”, all it takes is going too fast and a strong bump and the hockey puck will drag a nice long gash in your driveway, The ABS pipe will keep that from happening. Like you said, the purpose is to take off enough of the snow it should melt after the sun comes out.

Thank you for great tips! I tried and it worked perfect! 😀👍👍

I have the 60" Kimpex Click n Go 2 on my Grizzly 700, awesome plow.. I have the side panels (drift cutters) installed, also running diamond style v-bar tire chains on the rear. This thing is a tank and will push huge mounds of wet heavy snow!!

If your driveway is on a slope, definitely get the tire chains, especially if you're pushing up hill. I'd go front and rear in this case just to be sure. It's impressive how well an atv pushes snow with chains.

The plow itself is a very clever design IMO, I would definitely recommend it to anybody on the fence about buying it.

Made a skid from a length of 1/2 pipe ... (2" diameter) with a short piece of flat stock welded 6 inches from either end across the flats to bolt it to the blade where the sliders would normally be fixed.... works great .... its effectively the same thing but a lot more robust.

Thanks for that tip.... cheers from northern indiana
