Snow Blowing 2 Feet Of Heavy Wet Snow - John Deere 4066R - Frontier SB2176 - Western Winds Skid Skis
Overview
The real focus here is aftermarket skid skis custom-fabricated to replace factory skid shoes on a Frontier SB2176 snowblower, specifically for gravel and muddy terrain rather than pavement. The video shows the skis before and after a roughly two-foot heavy wet snowfall, evaluating whether they prevent the blower from digging into gravel. Light on tractor or blower specs, but useful for gravel-driveway owners wrestling with the same scraping problem.
