How has your blower held up?

How about a couple of small adjustable height wheels on
the outside of the blower near the shoes?
Big vibratory roller just before freeze up works good.
My neighbor has access to one and does his mile long camp
road in November.
just a thought.

As far as the wheel idea, how about a swivel type like on the back of a bushhog? Mine haven't shown much wear, as it is new and I leave about a 1/4" of snow as opposed to trying
to scrape it down to blacktop.
Harvey's idea might work with a cutting edge from a snow blade, not sure if it will take the pounding on the flat without breaking. You said you tried the "Fisher" type shoe? I'm sure your
familiar with H.P. FAIRFIELD IN SKOWHEGAN. Some of those
guys might have a suggestion,they know snow removal.

One more thought,what about looking at the big boys and see
what they are using?
Here are a few of the ones I found,Lorenz,Inland,Farmking,
Schulte,Allied,Lucknow,
They must be used on gravel roads. Might get some ideas
if you could pull up the specs.

Blizzard,
Looking at the pics of your pucks, I think if you allowed
them to spin you would have better luck.
Copy the set up on a fisher plow, short piece of pipe for
the mount and a fisher shoe with washers for height adj.
You may have to move them away from the blower a bit but
that should not be to hard to do. What do you think?

Yeah that sun sure feels good , just throwing out some ideas.
You might check with the local state DOT garage and see if they are going to redo any roads around your area.
I know that sometimes the specs call for it to be rototilled
(asphalt) and hauled off,and some call for it to be reused.
Sometimes you can get a decent price on the reclaimed material. You might check with Farin Bros and Smith up your way. I think they are out of Brighten Plt.

I new it would snow, I just took the blower off to twitch
out some trees this past weekend.Anxious to get the stump grinder out I guess.
This is the time of year I appreciate blacktop and snowblowers as opposed to the lawn remodel.
Have a good one.

Yeah it's my fault, but I just put the Blower back on so it will probably go out to sea.
What is your opinion of mulch mostly Hemlock I think, that is mixed with waste wood? Demo lumber etc.

I told you it would go out to sea!
But I think I will leave it on
for a bit longer.
