Bill... looks awesome!! I hope to have my '48 Farmall B looking that RED someday!! Right now it's rust covered, but running. Maybe I could pick your brain for advice someday... when I begin that project. Brian.

I have a 300' drive (w/ 2B stone, 3/4" and smaller) and I have the same problem. I usually try to push the snow to the same locations throughout the snow season, but this years 2ft. storm put an end to that. Now the gravel in the grass is continuous for the entire 300'. My first solution is that I use a box blade to plow... a properly tilted blade does minimize picking up stones. Second, I also shovel the stones (suspended in the snow) back onto the drive before it starts to melt. Lastly, when all the snow is gone, I get out my shovel, rakes, and my shop-vac... yes, I said shop-vac. You'd be surprised how well it works and it's not as back-breaking. The only problem is suppling electric for 300' (I used a generator once). My neighbors probably think I'm crazy, but they all have paved drives, so they wouldn't understand.

Jeff - I'm in a similiar situation as yourself. I own 5.5 acres, 1/2 grass, 1/2 woods, with 100yard stone driveway (that washes out). I have a B2150 and I think it's perfect. (Although I have no experience on anything else.) For me, hydrostatic is a must have... I couldn't live without it. I have a FEL and Mid-Mount Mower (both Kubota brand) and I also use a box scraper for the drive way. The FEL is very handy... anything from diggin' dirt to carrying tools around. I like the MMM because of its likeness to a lawn tractor. I've never used a bush-hog or finish mower on the back. I don't have any problems draggin' the box blade on the driveway. I've actually become quite handy with it...and I can put the driveway back into place after washout and 6 months worth of stone movement.
Hope that helps.
Brian
