Your going to want to turn that blade around or it will just float over the snow. I tried it like that last year, did not work to good backwards. But forward realy did a good job on keeping the driveway very clean.
It works great for me, if I turn it around it does what it was made to do, and starts grading my driveway. Those rocks just come right up. With it backwards and turned it does pack down some, but it moves a ton of snow. Used it on all but about the biggest three snowfalls all last year. My driveway is horrid to keep clean. The only thing that works better is my dad's fel on his tractor, backing up with it with the bucket angled down.
