Re: Two-Stage Snowblowers - Impact on Concrete Driveway and Exposed Aggregate
#1   Oct 8, 2008 5:54 pm
I've got a sealed, patterned concrete driveway. While my rusty skid plates don't mark it up (unless it sits in direct contact and rusts), I noticed that chains on the tires would occasionally scratch it. So I ditched the chains. I like the idea of the poly plates and will probably replace mine this year with those.

As for the scraper, I set my plates up so that I leave a snow base that I like to build up a few inches for the winter. It protects the driveway and there's no concern about it scratching.

I would never let a commercial plow come on the driveway. Oh, and I only use a plastic shovel (well, I use an Al one sometimes, but am careful with it). And no steel ice-chippers!
