***ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
When using a snowblower on loose gravel you need to raise your snowblower for gravel driveway.
On every snowblower there are snowblower skid plates or as some people call them snowblower skid shoes. Those snowblower shoes are located on each side of the auger drum where the snow enters. Basically all you need to do to raise your snowblower is loosen the nuts at the skid plates and slide them downward. You may have to tap them with a hammer. Adjust the skid shoes to the desired height and tighten up the nuts. An inch or two should do the trick.
When back on pavement for snow removal you can simply adjust the height of the snowblower skid plates back to where they were for a closer, clean snow removal on the pavement driveway.

I bought one used a few years ago. I need to work on the carb. Good job Roland
Great information for someone with a snowblower for sure. 👍🏻
Learn so much from you even though I don't have most of this products or issues! Much love!
God lord THANK YOU. I can't believe its so hard to find a video for exactly this!!
I type in "how to lower snowblower to get closer to the ground?"
Instead I get videos on why I shouldn't use PAM in the auger
You're welcome!
This is great roland I didn't know this , im going to have to lower mine thanks great video
Great information, Roland! I've never had a snow blower. I've seen many driveways ruined by scraping, lol, leaving gravel piles, and wondering what happened. I bet they didn't raise their blades either, lol. God Bless!
Good information to have Roland
Very good, I brain stormed so much about how to lift the drum i was going crazy, this is my 1st blower. After last year there's no way I'm going through that again with a snow shovel. Your video looked so easy as I walked back to see if mine had them...bought it used, but in excellent shape. There they were ! Awesome it's going to be so easy. Apparently the young last owner didn't know because he said he had all kinds of issues with rocks...everyone up here has a rock driveway. I'm assuming he didn't know because man, he put a lot of dents in the housing and had a big box of shear pins...lol. He moved to Tennessee so I don't know if he'll regret selling this big blower...runs great! Thanks
Oh wow good buy for you! I laughed when you mentioned the dentin his house. I've seen people put lots of holes in their vinyl siding with a snow blower
Your skid shoes were not level to the ground so they aren’t completely making full ground contact. Instead of that 2x4 and guessing where to position the skids, how about putting a paint stir stick (or whatever clearance you’re going for) under the scrapper bar then dropping the skids to make full ground contact before retightening the bolts?
Interesting on how to set the snow blower. 👍
Thank you!
I just got rid of the shoes on mine and put adjustable wheels off of an old lawn mower. Now I can adjust it down to clean off my concrete and adjust it up to do my gravel driveway. It works slicker than snot on a doorknob!
LOL!!!
Looks like some cool tips Roland. I like the idea of using the Pam. I am glad that I don't have to own a snow blower though LOL.
HIDING my Pam..... LOL great video Roland.👍
thanks. got 2 snowblowers and going to check now if they have these adjustments. just moved to a new place and the whole lot is gravel. it was throwing stones like jesus was being crucified
🤣🤣 ya you don't want that. Rocks are a snowblowers worst enemy. Cracked me up!
Does this process work as well on a riding lawnmower with a snowblower attachment?
I think the adjustable "legs" should be designed like snow mobile skis.....to prevent them from making a "trench" in the gravel .....and still throwing rocks. IMO
Good to know thumbs up catch you later
is there any inexpensive snow blower for a gravel driveway? all the ones I see are 500 or more.
Do not use Pam. Use silicone spray. Pam hardens in very cold weather, like just about any kind of cooking grease. Silicone does not. Spray Pam on a shovel or something, leave it on the porch, and check it out at 20 degrees. See if it's still shedding snow. Silicone will be.
Thank goodness I don't have to worry about shoveling snow anymore. When I was single and had my first little house in Minneapolis, I shoveled a lot of snow. Never was fortunate enough to have a snowblower until I got married and hubby decided it was time to get one! Have a good one, Roland!
👍👍
Also. Put a. Paint paddle flat under skraper as a guage. Bouta 1/8. Ish off ground
Also. Use. The same ceramic wax. You use on yur vehicle. In both shoot and housing

Does this work with a normal snowblower or do i have to get a 2 or 3 stage blower because i have a gravel driveway currently. Thanks
If there are adjusting sliders at the bottom of your blower you should be good to adjust your height.
@@GettingItDoneNorthOf7 ok thanks a ton
@@LiabilityDiscourse FYI, this really won't work all that great on a single stage snow blower, as most that I've seen don't have rear drive wheels. They use the auger to pull the snow blower along. If you raise the front and don't contact the ground, that makes it really hard to move the machine, as you will have to push it.
Would wd40 work just as well as Pam spray??
Ya but you shouldn't cook with WD40 Andy 🤣🤣
Had to ask , no way would peg let me use her pam lolol
@@andyjpaige take it when she goes to the washroom. Thats what I do
Funny cause I see 4 NUTS! Lol
No it wasn't helpful because your title stated " For Gravel driveways" All you talk about was pavement. And yes you can still adjust the shoes for gravel, but it will horribly dig into the gravel and it will still pick up gravel and you will have deep groves down your driveway. As of now I have seen no real fix for gravel you can buy shoes that are a bit wider, but not wide enough. What this snowblower needs is small sky's to float on top of the gravel. I ended up building my own. Their about 3 1/2 wide with a curl in front and back...remember you will be reversing it at time's. I really need help with a solution so your video was disappointing, I'll just work on my confidence to solve my own issues as I see mistitled video's more & more. No offense intended.
