Can I drive over a brick patio?
I have a dry set brick patio (packed sand, set bricks, and sand compacted into joints). Where is is located gets pretty much all the snow off the metal roof, and I am left with mountains of wet, heavy snow. Shoveling is an agonizing event, and a walk behind snowblower can't chew through the heavy wet snow.
I have a compact tract with a good snowblower on it. The tractor weighs 1660lbs, and I'd guess the whole setup weights between 2000-2200 pounds including the blower a lightly filled ballast box.
Can I safely use this tractor on the patio without damaging it?

If Portland cement had been swept into the cracks, and the bricks malletted into place when built it is strong. Try dumping the ballast box and all but deflating the tires, leaving only 12 pounds air pressure. The tires will spread out twice normal width, to better distribute the weight and improve traction. But if your tires are tube-less be careful turning and twisting, they can lose their seal and drop flat quickly.
