Now that I'm getting some first hand experience using the ET with plowblade to clear a gravel driveway, I'm wondering something...

On the blades on pick-up/dump trucks that I've seen I think I've noticedsmall metal 'feet' on the bottom edge of the blade. And the "V" bladethat Bill Gunn sold on eBay recently appeared to have such.

Would adding such feet to the regular ET blade help any? Did they evercome that way from GE? I'm thinking it might keep the blade from gettingcaught as easily on lumps of frozen gravel, ice, etc.
