I have not made changes to my SB48's drive. My SB48 was built in 2001 and I think it's already got the sprocket upgrade. I could count the number of sprocket teeth and measure the pulley diameter if you want.
Yes please . Now it has me thinking .
6" pulley, 19 tooth sprocket.
That is what I am running now too. :hm:

I only recall having the issue once over the past 7 years. The snow was wet and well packed.

I like the idea of just taking a small bite and not the whole width of the blower. That would probably work just fine, but a person still has to make the initial cut into the snow to make a path. :peace: Harry

I did not have this issue at all last year as well . Maybe just the right conditions for it to happen . I hope we don't have more of those "just right conditions .

It seems around here the last few years that we get more of that wet type snow, or we get a normal snow fall, then it rains.
