Not nesasarily true. Adjusting the scrapper bar and skid plates will allow
you to get most of the snow, with very little, if any, gravel being thrown.

Between mine and my neighbors driveways, I do about 350' worth, but, to be
on the safe side, I take extra care as to where the snow is being thrown.
