Map the apron as a separate area, and ensure that the driveway width is longer than the length. The path solver will make the core travel left-and-right instead of down-and-back. You then set the chute to only aim up the driveway, directly away from the road.
Yes, it’ll be putting the snow in the driveway that you’re about to clear. But it’s only about four to six lane’s worth. When you map the rest of the driveway, have it overlap that cleared apron such that the core will use it as the turning area. You won’t need to worry about hosing down any incoming traffic when the chute aims somewhere during a turn, since it’ll already be cleared.
You might do something similar next to the house, if there’s potential for glass breakage.
I do have the apron set as a separate area. I had it broken down into three areas at one point. Im pretty sure I have tried what you descrided, if I understood it correctly, with no luck. After the plow goes by and leaves 2 to 3 feet of compacted snow and ice it has to be cleared in a specific manner or the unit just spins its tracks while making no progress. I’ve spent hours upon hours trying to address this. I’m open to suggestions. Yarbo also agreed that it shouldnt be doing what it’s doing. When we get heavy snow I have Yarbo clear the main driveway and I pull out my Ariens to clear the apron.
Sending the snow into the driveway isnt really an option, although I have done this during testing, because there are usually cars in the driveway. The idea was for this to go out and clear the apron before my daughter went to work so she wouldnt keep getting stuck backing out and I wouldnt have to get up at 5:30 everyday to manually clear it.
