KC,
Thanks for the info on the block heater, I've been contemplating getting one and your synopsis is very helpful. Glad to see the blower is working well, regarding rpm's I believe the blower is designed to operate efficiently at a pto speed of 2000 rpm which is achieved at 2500 engine rpms. With really wet stuff I pretty much had my 2600 at it's upper RPM limits most of the time at about 3250 rpm to prevent chute clogging and to achieve a decent throw. I must say what a treat it is to get out in a heated cabbed machine to do all this incredibly difficult and exhausting work.
