Does this work on gravel or just on pavement? We have a gravel driveway

I don't think it would work very well. I think they would need to get enough speed up to glide without feet on the ground. I can't imagine it would be easy on gravel.

it'll work on small pea-gravel but on the bigger stuff you may end up with it full of gravel, ive used it on dirt and concrete. works awesome.

I don't think it would be great on asphalt/gravel. It works great on flat cement, but I don't think the wheels will grip well on anything loose.

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

Works fantastic on flat concrete and driveways. Not so well on pavement, too rocky. Hope this helps.

It probably would not be a good idea to use any snow thrower on stone or gravel for safety reasons. The stone and gravel could also ruin the material on the rotor blade.

Works very well on gravel, I guess that depends on the user. I own my own landscape company and have several. Very well built and a huge time saver. hope that helped.

It does better on pavement but it handles ok on gravel too. The road in front of my house is gravel so I have to ride down it to get to pavement and I have never had a problem.

My wife has used hers on gravel and in our yard. It will work in loose gravel but the harder packed it is the better. I guess it just depends on how rough the road is but I'll bet that if any walker will work, this one will.

Hi: I love my little Toro Power Shovel, but I would hesitate using it on a gravel driveway and this is why: When I use it, I tend to set it on the ground and push it back and forth, just like a vacuum, and it "vacuums" the snow off of the ground. Because it is resting on the ground, it makes the job much less strenuous. But, in your case, I would guess that it would also "vacuum" the gravel along with the snow. To try and hold it up one inch off of the ground would, I think, be quite tiresome. It isn't terribly heavy, but you would quickly get winded by holding it up and shoveling with it. It think that this would even be harder than using a snow shovel, thereby defeating the whole purpose of having a machine. Sorry, but I don't think it is a good tool for your application.

yes it is all based on the weight......for light grading, if you added some weight on top of the plow it should do the job! this plow works excellent for basic snow removal and i dont think you'd have a problem pushing gravel with it either.....however i have not tried it yet! good luck! well worth the $$$$

I have not used it very much on gravel; mostly street running. I have taken it to the park and it works well on the dirt and grass. I would think it would be fine on a gravel road. It is difficult to turn though.

So far we have only used it on concrete, but it's a sturdy thing, I would think it'd be ok on gravel...don't know from experience though

This item works well on paved driveways and sidewalks for snow about 1-6 inches deep. It's pretty powerful and proven to be reliable over the last 2 seasons. Small peebles on the driveway won't mess with this much but I wouldn't use it over a gravel driveway.

Ours has been driven on grass but performs better on pavement or concrete. It really slows the speed.

Yes! I found it to work very well on paved surfaces. The one I have now is my second one.

It works good on grass, my daughter rides hers on the driveway as well as the lawn with no problems. Sand doesn't go to well with it at all. As long as the gravel is really packed good it shouldn't be a problem.
