Has anyone tried using it on a gravel driveway?

No but be careful not to push down and dig in. Throwing stones can be a hazard with any snow blower.

Seems to work fine to me. I have setup on gravel and dirt. I could potentially see it possibly slipping in really wet conditions etc, but hasn't happened to me yet.

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.

Have trouble with our gravel driveway. Its hard to steer. Cracks aren't normally a problem. Really helped

I just use a hand crank spreader and yes it will work on rock driveways. Just spread it according to the recommended amount per square feet.

My driveway is about 40 feet long. It is covered by very old beat-up blacktop with many spots very rough and uneven due to years of heaving during our rough winters on the south shore of Lake Superior. Last winter was my first occasion to use the Yukon on it and it performed wonderfully. If your drive's gravel is firm during the winter I would suspect the Yukon would glide very well over it and do the job.

No it does not work of gravel or grass. You need to be on a surface where you can rock the "steering wheel" back and forth to keep it moving

I think it would best for hard surfaces. The tires are small and when we did take them on a trail, we lifted them over obstacles. Gravel roads should be fine as long as they are not to loose.

Yes. My drive way is full of large gravel and I have a difficult time of it just trying not to turn my ankle. From the gate into the yard and to the back door is over rocky yard and clumps of grass. The distance is not even one mile, however, it is rough. No problem.The back wheels have a diameter of 9 inches, this makes the going much easier.

Hi Andrew,Haven't used it on gravel road but used for jogging on paved road. Very good and easy to maneuver . My wife who uses it mostly likes it a lot. We have been happy with purchase. Good luck with ur purchase. Cheers,Arun

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.

We have ours on small pebbles with no problem. You could also put four bricks on the corners to raise it an inch or two if the driveway is too bumpy. We love ours. It is quite roomy.

Yes. We have a very long gravel driveway with LOTS of snow this winter. The mat has contained it well. . . .

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.

Firstly, I love this machine. Bailed me out of many feet of both wet and light snow. Yes it propels itself as the rubber blade rotates and, in making contact with the concrete, pulls the machine forward. Good for blacktop and concrete, NOT for gravel as the height is not adjustable. It's meant to be propelled by the blade contacting the ground and gravel would chew the mechanism up and spit the rocks out. Hope it helps.

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.

Snow caster works well on cement sidewalks !!But it will only move the light new snow not the hardened snow banks from previous shovelling. Not advised on gravel driveways ;( It can be done but with a lot of jolts !!Dead stops when your pushing ;(
