Does This Works On Snow Covered Driveways?

I have only used as a pre treatment to prevent snow and ice buildup but I do know it will melt whatever you pour it on. but it is meant to cover your surface before it snows.

Perfectly. Also good to put down before snow (makes it easier to shovel). It does not do a good job of melting through a layer of ice.

It will help melt it a little,but much better if you are able to spray before the snow then it will help with the clearing off.

It's really to prevent ice, a de-icer. It's not meant as a snow removal method. Not sure it would be your answer.

Yes. But works best when applied before the storm as it can melt up to 2-3" before the viscosity breaks down.

I used it over driveway paint as a protector,but even though kit comes with anti skid packet its still slippery when wet.with the heavy snow in ny some areas peeled off with paint.

yes, the track drive system works great on a sloped, icy driveway. I've never seen a better blower for icy/sloped conditions.

Have not used it in snow yet. I anticipate that it will work fine as long as the snow is not really deep.

That depends on the moisture in the snow and the depth. I have a monster long and wide driveway, and it works just great for me in light fluffy snow that is less than 2 inches. It goes much faster than a traditional shovel. If there is snow mounted up on the sides, you might need to take a shovel and throw it more to the side, but this is still much, much faster than shoveling everything by hand or using a snow thrower. I am very happy with my Snowcaster--I've used it 4 times already this winter (Wisconsin)!

It does leave a little snow covering where you blew, I am happy with it. Very easy to use. I just wish the wheels where adjustable so I can raise mine up a little. I have and asphalt drive with a lot of cracks and I have to be careful not to get any debris sucked inside it.

Yes. No. No this product will not survive the punishment from passing snow plows pushing snow off the road. It is going to require some type of protection to block the snow being plowed off the road.

Only discharges snow to the front or towards the way you are pushing it. Will discharge the snow a good distance based on the amount and how heavy(wet) it is. Great for a small area like sidewalks and short driveways.

I cleared a path for the dogs, and the trash with this and it was removing grass from the ground. It will certainly pick up gravel. You would have to be careful and tilt it back so it's not directly contacting the ground, which in turn, would leave a layer of snow/ice on your driveway.

I have used mine in all snow levels and conditions and it work great. I adjusted the height so it can clear snow all the way down to the concrete. When clearing 1"-2" of snow I basically use it like a plow.

Yes, I use it at our small Colorado ranch making paths to the barn and pasture as well as clearing the long gravel driveway. You can't stop it but you need to raise it up on the skids or it will snag every uneven spot and wear you out trying to control it. Two feet of snow doesn't even phase it.

Yes but does not work well if you are trying to use it outdoors in cold weather.

Keep a sliding channel clear in the mound beside the driveway, on the downhill side if there is one. This works well on flat roofs too. This moves a lot of snow at once and you never have to pick the snow up. My old one just broke yesterday after many years, I am ordering a new one today.

My driveway also slopes up here in the Colorado foothills. Although I have used this machine only once last week, it did perform well working uphill. That said, it did struggle a bit when running into compacted snow after a car had driven up and down the driveway. So it is best to use it on fresh snow, before any vehicle drives over it.

I plow (steel blade touching ground) and run my snow thrower over lawn in Northern Minnesota and within two weeks of the grass starting to grow (early summer!) it is unnoticeable. I'm not sure how it would work on unfrozen ground.

I bought this last year and in Ohio we had record snows. I found it worked more than adequately for the driveway and walks and prefer it over previous, more powerful gasoline snow blowers from the past.

To be honest, I have not. In my case, I like to gather up a "scoop-full" and be able to slide it off to the side of my driveway as I can. In my particular case, I would not want a plow type, for the reason of putting the snow where I want. Hope this helps some.
