Is anybody out there???

[Cold Country]

Im new to the forum and there arent any recent posts. Sold my restored '52 Ford 8N and bought a left-left-over 0 hour 2011 Sport 48" with the 20 hp Kawasaki for $3, 662 delivered to my house about 90 miles from the dealer up here in Alexandria Bay, NY. Waiting for delivery, and would appreciate any good/bad experiences with this machine. I am also in the market for something for snow removal and Ive heard there is a blade/chain/weight set-up for these. Anybody know if its worth it considering the limited traction reviews ive read before I pull the trigger on a new walk behind?? Im Active army and a hobby farmer when Im not walking around in Iraq or Afghan once about every other year.

:welcome: to LMF! I don't have any experiences with that mower, but thanks for serving our country!

I'm from the other end(west) of the state but know how much snow you guys get up there. I wouldn't recommend a ZT plow for that kind of snow. I'd get a walk behind 2 stage snow-thrower. IMO they're the best way to move snow.

I love my walk-behind snowblower!

Well then, im off to buy a walk behind this morning and they arent cheap nor do they have the same appeal to me like lawn equipment.

I agree, they are not cheap! But in your case (with all the snow you get) I think it would be well worth your money.

Well I took the advise and got myself an Ariens Deluxe 30 inch. It moved a 3 plus foot drift from the driveway really well and moves less snow with ease. Only complaint is I already lost a cotter pin from the drive lever and the cable from the top of the chute keeps coming off but they are known to be long lasting blowers so I can live with the little stuff

Well I'm glad you are pretty happy with the purchase! :smile: Do you have any pictures of it?
