I have a gravel (small gray stones) driveway. Is there a way to adjust the height of will it work on this type of drive?

it will work.no there is no way to adjust the height except no to push it to the ground and u will probable throw some stones i would think.

I have a gravel driveway and I just tilt it a little so it doesn't remove the snow all the way down to the gravel. Otherwise it will throw the gravel, which does happen once in a while.

Not that I know of. The bottom of the machine is just a plastic skidplate so depending on the type and depth of the snow, it may just ride over the gravel as long as you keep it level. The blades are hard rubber so the stones would not do too much damage to the machine, but you would have to be very careful about where you are potentially throwing rocks.

No. I have the same type driveway and, periodically you will pick up stone. The state plow mixes snow with stone and, that mess is at the end of my driveway. I assume the stone will age my snow blower much quicker than if I were on concrete.

Just tilt the blower back, it will raise the front up & not bother the gravel.

I would say no, unless you had snow packed down... no adjustment to compensate for the gravel.. Would reccommend using on flat surface...cement. hot top or deck. Gravel would damage the snow blades. hope this helps

Not that I'm aware about the height adjustment. As for the gravel driveway, I would not know how the wheels would work. Since it's over snow, I do not think it matters regardless of the machine type. I'm looking into a Snow Joe SJ620 in addition to my Toro electric.

with some practice. you need to keep the front slightly raised as you push. if the gravel is real loose you may have some issues but i do mine ok. its about 150'.

yes it is adjustable via the skids and via the way the whole front either is forced downward or allowed to float.I clear a section of gravel drive with fairly large stones without issue.

Our driveway is slightly sloped and it works great. You should have no problems, just fill it with water or sand and it does not budge.

Although I can't say for sure how it would do on a gravel driveway, I have had a few pet strollers over the years (including a couple from Pet Gear) and found that rolling them on more rugged surfaces was not good for the stroller. The wheels became misaligned and made it harder to steer the stroller.

With a load of this size the handle on the dolly will allow you to control speed. The brake is not progressive - it doesn't slow down it simply locks the gear driven chain mechanism. It should lock and hold your trailer fine for a short period while you pull up your car. I have a 16' boat and it works great. Going up a gravel driveway may be a challenge depending on how compacted your surface is. On a hard surface you can use the valet to climb an incline, but loose gravel can make that difficult.

No, I don't think so. (Do they make them like this? If so, this should have it, for the price.) My driveway has a slight grade to it, and I can notice that slightly on the basketball goal. If it was a large difference, I would have to add some kind of height to one side to level it out. I've been very happy with this goal for my son.

I drilled the holes for the top bolts at 107" and that made my rim regulation height when fully raised. I have mine mounted on the face of the garage above the doors, while others will have to mount it in the roof, depending on which side of the garage the driveway is on.

It's very small I don't think it would work well on grass or gravel. We used it in the house or on black top.

I roll it across my grass backyard all the time. The only issue is the solid wheels, stuff can bounce out of the tray. I'm not sure how it would be on a gravel driveway. The wheels might sink in depending on the weight it is carrying.

Part of my driveway is gravel. I do have to push down on the handles to slightly lift the front end of the snowblower to avoid picking up too much gravel. This would a problem with any snowblower in my opinion. Overall I really like my Husqvarna. It does a great job. --ST

If your talking about a loose gravel driveway (or any loose gravel surface), it won't work. It would drive straight but wouldn't spin, which is what makes it so fun. Because the rear wheels are caster style wheels, when the ride turns hard to the left or right, the Powerrider will whip around (but not severely because of the top speed) which is what kids love about this ride, so if it can't spin because of the loose gravel, it won't be as fun as riding on a smooth, hard surface.

I had my builder run it prior to the driveway being poured in plastic conduit. I would try a circular saw with the proper blade and cut a groove across the drive. You could also rent a saw designed just for that purpose. If you have a culvert squash pipe you could run it through it (I did this at previous home).

I have a dirt driveway. Not gravel but certainly not paved either. My 1800 Power Curve has not been a problem. I have learned where specific embedded non-removable rocks are and have learned to avoid them easily enough. Hope that helps.

It should have no problem. I bought this Husqvarna late last spring and have been using it this winter. I have a 4 to 5 inch step up going from my driveway to an adjoining paver patio. I just tilt the snowblower back to get the intake above the patio height and it just drives itself right up.

I would think it would work well. However, if the gravel is too big it will get stuck on the prongs.

I would not use this on a gravel driveway since it will throw the rocks & stones like a lawnmower.
