I have had a Ford 14 hp hydrostat garden tractor with a single stage thrower and used it on a gravel drive. The trick was to set the height of the ground skids so that you stay well above the gravel. Once a hard pack of snow is formed then it's no problem, you can let up the skids and scrape er clean. but yes, an occasional stone would get caught in the high speed auger and cause a jolt so violent as to break the snow chute or the scraper.
I also have run a snapper with a 16 hp and 2 stage blower. I have never busted a shear pin on the two stage, stones just seem to blow right on through, but again you have to set the skids so that your lawn doesn't become one big gravel field. Ice is the biggest problem causing shear pin breakage on the big auger.
