I spend quite a bit of time in close quarters, in soft ground, and on slippery hills. I’ve owned only gear drive and it seems my left and right foot are pretty well trained to act properly when things are difficult. I can certainly see advantages to an HST, but am concerned I just wouldn’t...

I’d expect the soil type, moisture, and grass type to have a big effect on what works. I have had success on some bumpy areas with the rototiller set to just trim off the highest of the high spots. It is slow, and it took several passes over the summer, but worked well in the end.

I have a John Deere 4100 with forward exhaust. I have a blade on the front and when I use the rear mounted and rear facing snowblower, I like to have the wind blowing from front to back to keep the snow off me. In that setting I smell a lot of exhaust. I keep thinking I should build a vertical...

. My tool for snow. This is always a compromise but works well for me in wooded area. You would want bigger if moving 2 feet of hard drifted snow. If the blower were heavier, the steering while plowing would be poor. There are several areas where I plow snow and then use the blower to get rid of...
