Read articles →An owner-operator using a front bucket (not a blade) to plow a roughly 600-foot gravel driveway on icy, slushy ground, a real-world constraint many CT235 owners will recognize. He explains why he hasn't switched to a blade (no auxiliary hydraulics yet), why a snowblower failed on gravel, and the gravel-displacement cycle that results. Light on specs but honest about limitations; best for CT235 owners wrestling with similar snow-removal tradeoffs.
An owner-operator sharing casual, on-the-go impressions from their own rural property, with no apparent commercial affiliation.
He doesn't have auxiliary hydraulics installed yet, which is needed before adding a front blade, so he uses the bucket for now.
The driveway is gravel, and the snowblower is ineffective on it, plus it's hard to move around on the lawnmower tractor he also tried.
In fall before the ground freezes, plowing picks up gravel that gets pushed onto the lawn, creating a yearly cycle of moving gravel back and forth.
The driveway drops away to the right at the entry, so he can't push too far that way or the tractor could slide down the embankment.
