Hutch,One thing l failed to mention in my earlier disortation.
Unless you live somewhere that you don't get a lot of snow. Or you get a thaw in between. Plow for March/April not just Dec.. l like to push my edges back at least a blade width beyond the edge of the driveway. This gives you extra room for successive snow falls.
In my area of Mi we got 6+" of heavy white stuff overnight. I had to make extra passes to not only clear it, but to push it back further. Once it turns cold again and freezes, you'll have a heck of a time moving it, and your driveway might get narrower and narrower.
Shout out to Urbish, l was thinking about you not too long ago and how l hadn't seen any recent posts. Happy you're still around and part of the group.
Be well everyone

You nailed it in regards to plowing for March/April.
I plow a minimum of 10-15' off both edges of our driveway. Winter of 2010-2011, we had a significant snowstorm every week in January and February. By the beginning of March, the 4' tall snow banks were at the edge of the driveway.
Since we haven't had much snow for the last several winters, I haven't had to use my Mahindra 3505di with a bucket to move snow banks.
