I appreciate the replies. As mentioned I'm dedicating a small skidsteer to this site (plus another just down the road). I'm hoping that a new skidsteer won't be trashed by doing the lot, since they oughta be a lot more rugged than a pickup w/plow. Two employees will be trading shifts in the skidsteer, and both have never used a skidsteer before...ever. I'll be nearby to help out if necessary in asphalt areas, but I'm not going to put my '04 truck on that gravel. The recycling plant runs very lean, which explains why they'll be doing their own salting, so I don't know how likely it would be to get them to repair it the right way. I will, however, suggest it to the manager and see what he says. I would sub the work out for sure.

I don't know anyone using a poly cutting edge on a skidder around here, and I don't have the cash to do so for this season. Would you recommend using the plow shoes, or just "floating" slightly above the gravel and nevermind the shoes?
