I also use a 3-point hitch scraper blade on my 1/3 mile-long drive, but I cut high so no gravel is moved (I drive slowly). I would love a front mount blade though. I have a skid-steer mount on my loader but want a manual angle since I do not have extra hydraulic hookups on the tractor. I found some of these online, but at around 3K, I cannot justify it. I think a 3-point hitch snow blower would be similarly priced which seems odd to me.
