[QUOTE="RayF, post: 238469, member: 15025"] I did plow with the blade angled and straight... seemed to "cut" closer when straight. You misunderstand "snow" in North Carolina... this will all be gone by Tuesday when the temps get back to the 50's (60's 70's ...lol). I had the blade on all last winter.. and we never got anything more than a heavy frost/dusting. So, I dismantled it and had it blasted to get it ready for "this winter".... Of course, I waited until the last day (yesterday)... to get it ready! This blade is just a toy... to remind me of my days back on the farm in NW Pennsylvania in the "snow-belt". I used an IH 444 with a rear scrape blade that would spin 360°... for both drag and push use. Never needed "extra" weights (liquid in tires)... but always put chains on for the winter. Dad doesn't need to go anywhere these days, but he does use his Honda track-blower, to clear a path to the barns. If it really gets deep..and he has to get out, he just fires up the Case with the Woods back-hoe and loader attachments. The IH 686 Diesel doesn't like the cold.
