There are lots of ways to do the drive and all we can do is make suggestions as what has worked for us and/or neighbors and the final decision is yours to make.  |
I plow about 50/50 dirt & paved, unless the ground is frozen the skids do nothing, once the ground is frozen I do not use them because they leave to much snow behind.
As for stone driveways they are the absolute worst to plow. Even with the skids you still push stones up. On the one stone driveway I plow I will raise the blade and leave a couple of inches of snow down.
If they were not good customers I'd drop the stone driveway in a heartbeat.
Fortunately it looks like the frost may be here to stay as the ground seems to be staying frozen. Even the Merrymeeting river had a nice skim on it yesterday morning when I went by on my way to work.
