I actually enjoyed your video. I served with some Aussie's who were in the Nam - great mates. I purchased this snowblower today and will probably buy the hand warmer kit for it due to poor circulation in my left hand. Cheers
I just bought one paid full retail of 1 grand. You know, I could've gotten something fancier but you know what, quality matters. I need something that works and I've heard nothing but good things about this thing from everywhere I've looked. I live in a 1/4 mile steep driveway I didn't want gimmick. Thanks for the assembly looks great!
Ok everyone, quick update, probably get some video in late January or when we normally gt a deeper snowfall in February. Did try it out on our recent snowfall of about 8 inches...... the gravel is NOT a snowblowers friend..... broke a few shear pins....then a couple more. More than a few scratches lol. Found the steering does tend to wander and also found the shoes tend to dig in due to the open front of the shoe. Bought some nylon shoes that are nearly twice as long. Machine steered straight with the nylon shoes, but they are universal fit and the resr cam shaped adaptor keeps shifting, so they need work. May weld longer skids to the original shoes. Watch for the update.
I just did a quick update in the comments, but yes, found the wandering issues do seem to come from having short shoes that tend to dig in even when adjusted for more height
I understand why they support the chute and auger drive with supports top and bottom, not to make them stronger, but they have to because they now use thinner, cheaper metal and plastic to save money. You can bend the auger with your hands! Those cables are also very wimpy and cheap. My motorcycles have better, thicker and beefier cables.

I have been thinking about the handwarmer kit, but will see how it goes this year.
Solid machine, great choice! Thanks for the video 😊

Any updates on the performance? was it easy to steer? how did it do on the gravel?
