... and it is AWESOME! It took a bit to get the hang of tilting it just right when articulating the blade but after that it made quick work of my driveway. Then I went and did 9 others in the neighborhood. I wasn't accepting cash, but plenty was offered. I did accept getting my fuel topped off and one guy refused to let me refuse his money so he jammed some "beer money" in my flap pocket.
I found that the rubber lip they put on is worth every penny. Those getting a blade, I highly recommend it. I also found that it back-drags fantastically, even articulated. Can pull right up to garages, drag out enough to get turned around and away we go.
I also found that back dragging gravel also works perfect in float while leaving the gravel where it should be. Most driveways here are a mix of asphalt / concrete and gravel.
My buddy has a blade on his 4 wheeler and the PT absolutely runs circles around it. Not to mention I can actually pile snow with mine.
Now for a subject change. Hydraulic heating. I tried searching, but no luck finding if anyone has tried a submersible fish tank heater. They are cheap, could I drop one in the tank and let that keep it at 60° or so? I'm sure a little messy, but may work?
Oh, and HAPPY NEW YEARS to all my PT brethren!
