Will this work on a long gravel driveway?

with some practice. you need to keep the front slightly raised as you push. if the gravel is real loose you may have some issues but i do mine ok. its about 150'.

I have a long gravel driveway and it works well. Better than a snowblower in my opinion. Just have to be sure not to go too deep and pick up the loose stone. A little practice is all it takes. I usually leave a thin layer of snow when I do my drive.

My driveway is about 40 feet long. It is covered by very old beat-up blacktop with many spots very rough and uneven due to years of heaving during our rough winters on the south shore of Lake Superior. Last winter was my first occasion to use the Yukon on it and it performed wonderfully. If your drive's gravel is firm during the winter I would suspect the Yukon would glide very well over it and do the job.

As long as you leave a little layer of snow so that the shovel does not get all scratched up on the bottom, I would think that it would work on gravel.

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.

Although I can't say for sure how it would do on a gravel driveway, I have had a few pet strollers over the years (including a couple from Pet Gear) and found that rolling them on more rugged surfaces was not good for the stroller. The wheels became misaligned and made it harder to steer the stroller.

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 ;(

I would not want to go far on gravel if it was laid down - the big tires can handle gravel no problem (like if you have it in the upright position) but if it is laying down, the wheels closer to the handle are smaller and don't navigate gravel as well.

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

I'd say that gravel driveway, as long as the gravel isn't too deep, would probably work ok. The tires are not wide enough or aggressive enough to work well on wet grass or mud. I am using this as the basis for a homemade electric go kart and for that purpose, I've had to strengthen a few areas of it.

Wouldn't work on gravel, going down hills it may work well if its smooth top should be fine.

it works great on any hard surface. concrete, asphalt, hard packed dirt. short grass pretty good. long grass and gravel probably hardly will wrk

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.

I cleared a path for the dogs, and the trash with this and it was removing grass from the ground. It will certainly pick up gravel. You would have to be careful and tilt it back so it's not directly contacting the ground, which in turn, would leave a layer of snow/ice on your driveway.

YES, my driveway is over 200 ft and has a steep slope. It works great, even on ice.

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.

Mine works very well in loose gravel, tires are wide enough. Unless it was loose drifting sand I believe it would work very well. Loose sand you need a camel.

I would think it would work well. However, if the gravel is too big it will get stuck on the prongs.

Sorry for late response- we have it on gravel. It is heavy-duty. It really was a great decision for us.

I purchased it for my uncle's 10 acre property, mostly to clean up brush and weeds. It does smooth the soil, and will move rocks and gravel around, but I dont think it would be effective to actually remove them. We did use it for grading some areas on the property that were heavy with gravel, but the gravel is still there - just leveled out.

I used to live on a gravel road, so I understand. It should work ok, but not great. I don't think you'll find anything out there that will work better though. It definitely will be better than one of the tricycles with plastic tires!
