Re: (ET) plowing snow
I use a skidloader to plow and it tore into the asphalt and ruts,
etc.....until I bought a thick piece of rubber from a snowplow dealer and
bolted it across the bottom edge. Now, it works perfectly. It's stiff
enough to plow and move ice and doesn't hurt the driveway. Conveyor belt
rubber may work too. Had it on there for 3 years now and it's not even
worn.

Subject: (ET) plowing snow
Now that I'm getting some first hand experience using the ET with plow
blade 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 noticed
small metal 'feet' on the bottom edge of the blade. And the "V" blade
that Bill Gunn sold on eBay recently appeared to have such.
Would adding such feet to the regular ET blade help any? Did they ever
come that way from GE? I'm thinking it might keep the blade from getting
caught as easily on lumps of frozen gravel, ice, etc.
