190-302 Snow blade question

[EternalArianne]

I know they make a snow blade for the 2000 series - 190-302. My question is - is it rated only for “light” stuff like snow, or could you use it for more “heavy” work like leveling gravel or dirt?

It looks like the lifting mechanism is all manual with the control arm coming back to the driver so I don’t know how well that would work with something “heavy”. Does anyone have experience with using it for anything other than snow? Would there be something better to use for moving dirt or gravel around? If it helps I’d be using it with a HDS 2155…

Your lawn tractor is just that, not designed for ground engaging equipment, like a garden tractor.
That said, moving a little mulch or a wheelbarrow of dirt or two, would be fine.
Don't plan on preparing a new gravel driveway or spreading dirt around a new constructed home.
Even when using it doing snow work, many light passes is less stressful then "ramming" snow
I don't have, or used a lawn tractor like yours, but since you didn't get many replies , thought I give general advice.

Thanks for responding. I figured it wasn’t really meant for that. I figured it wasn’t really meant for anything like that
