After reading all these posts, this is how I am going to try clearing the snow. I am going to turn the blade backwards and clear only a few inches at a time. When I get close to ground level, I will turn the blade and drive forwards. As I have a short gravel drive and it is flat, I am hopefully this will work..... I do get drifts from time to time (max 3' high). These are what I am worried about and will try to chip around them to clear. I am going as suggested to try it without the chains and if needed get some. One point of consern is damage to the tractor and the blade. I recently knocked over a stump with my tractor and blade. A couple of times the blade made contact with the stump and the tractor did not move (couldn't budge the stump). I never used a lot of force hitting the stump, but did run the engin full when trying to knock it over (blade already touching the stump). I did no damage to the blade or the tractor doing this. What kinda damage could I inflict on my equipment with snow? I have a 7' King cutter blade. I think as long as I go slow and don't wait to long for the snow to pack it I should be ok. I will post what works and does not work here in the future after it snows. Thank you for all the insite and your experences.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
