Drew, I'm no pro at implement set up, but I have moved a bit of snow with my scraper blade. Near as I can tell (short of shovling ) this is the slowest means of removing snow. If the snow is light say 6 " or less face your moldboard ahead and angled so the snow runs off to your right. Drive through the snow winging it off to the side of the driveway. Use your leveling box to keep your blade on the same angle as the crown of the driveway. Your top link should be wound in most of the way so the blade will not dig into the drive. I have never used the draft control plowing snow. If the snow is too deep or heavy you will have to push the snow. Face the moldboard rearward, angled once again so the materal runs off to the right hand side. Extend your top link so the blade will not dig onto the driveway. Use skids or shoes if your blade has them. Back up Carefully pushing the snow off to the side. Catching a rock grounding stake or fence post is easy to do and can damage things quickly. Good luck from the frozen north. Roy
