Setting skid shoes help.

Does anyone have any experiance with setting the skid shoes on a honda snowblower. I purchased the commercial skid kit and I was wondering how you set it. I have a 1000 ft stone driveway and I want to keep about a half inch of snow on top of the driveway. Do I have both front and rear skids touching the ground together or set different? Thanks for any advice.

May I ask why you want to leave 1/2 of snow? I am thinking about buying a SS unit cause I dont like how my two stage leaves snow behind.......I can get 26" of snow and buy the next afternoon I am down to dry pavement! IMO its only a matter of time before someone falls..... My driveway is 1000ft gravel

My driveway is 1000ft gravel I would put the bucket as high as you could get it for the first couple uses. Then drive your car/truck on it as needed. Get a good base set up get that gravel froze in there good with some on top. Before setting up to leave the 1/2 inch for the rest of the winter. You can set it up for a regular hard surface drive once you get a base set up. 1000 ft going to be a very good work out with a small walk behind
