Default Snowblower Wheels Location and Opinions

I put some 8" wheels on the front of my 451 in hopes of keeping the gravel out and not tearing up unfrozen turf . I lowered the blowers scraper onto a 2x4 to get the 1.5" clearance I wanted.



As soon as I was done I had another idea. I thought it may be better to attach the wheels behind the blower housing right behind the scraper edge. Then realized that I had a pair of brackets that I got with a WF plow, that I think someone made to attach it to a NF.





Then I thought about also mounting the skids that came with my ATV plow that I put on the 450 last year.



So, what would OCC do and what are your opinions? Wheels in the back, skids in the front or the other way around?
