[Farmall] Help with snow plow adjustment

[birddog]

I see what you have, Mike.  Looks like asphalt.  Most of what is milled 
around here now is reprocessed and put right back down probably on the 
same road where it came from.  The crusher run I referred to is not used 
for roads.  As you say, it would not stand the traffic.  It is very 
popular for home driveway topping.  It comes from the quarry pretty wet 
(sold by the ton) and will pack very well when wet and rolled even with 
a lawn roller.  My drive and back walk have not been topped up for 
probably six years and are still holding pretty well.  As mentioned, not 
snow plow proof.  Larger sizes make good base and are less costly than 
clean crushed stone.
