I honestly don't know if one plows snow with an angled blade, as I never used my blade. So maybe if you plow snow straight you'd be fine. But how about this. What if you weld/bolt the skis to the part of the plow that doesn't angle, the body of the plow?

As for the round shoes, I think it's just the size that matter most, so it floats instead of digging in.

I’ll be waiting to hear and see how the pvc pipe works on there Jeff. And your right. The disks should be bigger to work better.

A lot of guys on the old forum ran and liked the PVC pipe, schedule 80 was preferred. I guess as long as you don't hit something really hard it holds up well. For heavy wet snow nothing's going to work well. The pipe may just ride up and pack it down.
My driveway is pretty hard and once it's frozen it usually stays frozen. Also these blades are pretty light compared to a truck plow. I only run the blade for light snow, usually run the blower. The only time I run full angle is on the long parts of the driveway. The rest of the time I just bulldoze. Was actually thinking of making some swept forward wings to carry more snow and make blade about 6'.

A fella I chat with on another site made a snow pusher for his tractor last year. So this year he took the pusher off and put a plow on that angles. He’s tried it out and all ready has taken the plow off and put the pusher back on.

I ran a set of these on a 8' straight blade the last four years I plowed. Rarely took them off, wished I would have gotten them 25 years sooner. :106:

I looked around the shop and found this piece of 2” I think I’ll try

Part of the problem here is even though we see temps below zero sometimes it generally doesn’t last long. We are much more likely to see temperature above freezing during the day and freezing at night. The top layer of ground is in a constant freeze thaw cycle so the driveway never really freezes up. Sometimes on small snows I don’t even bother since I know it will be melted off in a couple of days.

I’m not sure how I’ll blade the drive way off. With the big tractor I ran the blade at an angle. But with this I’m not sure which way I’ll like better. Just have to play with it and see. I want to end up with a set up that is as close to just jumping on the tractor and going as I can get so son can run it without a lot of adjustment.

Anyway I’ll update when I put the pipe on. That will have to be another day as today turned into wrestling with 40 year old tires that are hard as a brick!

Noel, what is a snow pusher? Or how is it different than the plow?

If you think it worked fine with the big tractor it should work well with the 446 too. In any case, I don't think there's a setup that works ideal when you have gravel. I know that when you grade a gravel driveway the least trouble is the rear blade. Maybe this should be a clue of what works best with snow on gravel. I had plans to make a rear blade for a long time, and just never got around to do it. :|

The way I see it, what you want is something that sinks to the bottom of the snow, but not into the gravel. Since you're not dealing with a lot of snow you'd be fine pushing the blade straight with the shoes you made. I'd try that first and not worry about the pipe for now. :cool:

I have gravel and am using the snow caster. No matter what I do, every so often the caster will dig in and gravel will fly :)) I suppose it doesn't bother me that much as to put a pipe on it.

Just little ramble Jeff.. :giggle:

Our driveway is gravel and needs a lot of maintenance in fall and spring.

Although a rear 3pt blade is "Ok" control amd traction on the hill are an issue.

This is the preferred tool, made from a Massey front blade, Roper transaxle, scrap metal and 3 cat 0 3rd links. The 3rd links are used to set up crowning and depth control.
