Craftsman 13.5 (9.5hp) Snowblower front end keeps kicking.

Hey guys, new here, but I swear I searched for the answer before posting :D

The problem I'm running into is that my 1 year old Craftsman 13.5 keeps kicking up it's front end on just about anything, from tire tracks in the driveway (just packed snow), the heavy stuff the plow leaves behind at the end of the driveway, and at simple deep snow along the edges of the driveway.  I've tried adjusting the feet, the auger direction and the scrape blade, but i'm not sure how to correct this problem.  It's leaving great heaps of snow every time it kicks up meaning i have to redo a great deal of my driveway.

I'm by no means a gearhead, but guides on here before have helped me with a few problems, so i'm not entirely incompetent with a wrench either.

Thanks, i'm already running it at the slowest speed only, which actually does seem kind of quick.  Any suggestions on how to get it even slower?
