Run a 772 GP Deere. Falls one way, falls wing, 16' moldboard. Only in my second year of strictly snow removal on gravel roads, so no experience blading gravel. Normal blading speed is 19, seventh gear wide open. Having trouble with machine bucking like a bronco under heavy load. I've tried articulating slightly so the rear wheels are pointed towards center of the road, tried it with front wheels leaned left, tried it with and without front wheel assist, tried 60 pounds of air in front tires, 55 pounds in rear tires, CANT GET IT TO STOP. Drives me nuts because it's a rough ride and the people using the road have to feel that chop. Looking for any and all suggestions

Hey try do this, work in 5th gear, put your MB at maximum angle 45º using the circule table tilting your blade just a little bit, lean your front tires towards whatever direction the snow is flowing.
