Would this run on a gravel driveway?

I would think it will run and gravel that is compacted a little. The car is heavy but if the gravel is too loose I don't think the wheels will grab.

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.

If you have any gravel I don't think it would work to well. You could lift it up a little so that it doesn't throw the rocks.

We bought this for my 5 year old son to ride on our stone driveway and crabgrass lawn. I think it would be easy to ride on concrete/asphalt - he makes it happen on what we've got.... Doesn't get very fast on the grass, but likes stirring up dust on the stone driveway. If your driveway is true gravel, like pebbles/stones, I think he'll have a heck of a hard time getting going.

I would say no, unless you had snow packed down... no adjustment to compensate for the gravel.. Would reccommend using on flat surface...cement. hot top or deck. Gravel would damage the snow blades. hope this helps

We've used ours on our driveway/sidewalks and not had any trouble. If you have hardwood floors, just be sure to wipe off the wheels bc any grains/dirt that embeds in the rubber wheels tends to scratch the floor.

If you are using to spread gravel on a driveway, you don't need any extra weight. You can add a cinder block to the back of the blade if you need. I did not use any added weight doing my drive that is at least 250-300 yards long.

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 ;(

It probably could, but only for loose gravel. It would be best to use a box scraper for that. You could add some weight to it and get a better result. When I add weight to mine, I just wire a wood pallet on top of it.

Our grandsons use it on our long paved driveway. I think it would be okay over grass depending on how long the grass and rough the terrain. I wouldn't say it's designed to do that.

It is not very rugged. Perfect for sidewalks but I am not so sure about gravel.

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.

I would say it's not suitable for loose gravel. Ideal for smooth concrete and tarmac surfaces.

Yes. I have 8 miles of gravel road & have had no trouble with it in the rain, snow & mud. Mine is mounted on frame under the cab.

It's not a good idea to use on gravel but, yes it will work. Just leave an inch or more so as not to pick up gravel.

a stone driveway might be a bit too heavy for it. I doubled mine and placed wood chips on it and decorative rocks in other areas. I don't think it would be the strongest for driveway use. The weight of cars over it might rip it apart underneath.

I set mine up on the driveway. You can use Hilti anchors or you can put the legs in 5 gallon bucket, then fill the buckets full of gravel.
