    I’m considering what way to go also. Have a John Deere x739 4wd and 4 wheel steer. Has anyone had a blower on that and if had how did it work? I have only had walk behind before. 70 and bad back and hip so might be easier with the front mounted tractor type.

    Got the x739 this spring. So far works great for mowing. Was rough riding but reduced tire pressure and helped. Was thinking about getting the snow blower this fall.

    Wouldn’t buy anything from Glens army navy in Grand Rapids. Purchased an item and week later was 140 less and wouldn’t deal with me. Got a refund instead and purchased at Scheels.

    Used the Garmin 73 for the first time and was easy to use. Purchased one week before Christmas and then was on sale for $140 less at Same store the next week (Glens Army Navy). Wouldn’t give me the discount only a complete refund. Ordered through Scheels and they matched price. So far really like it. Thanks for all the advice.

    Ended up getting the Garmin. Watched the video again and working on getting it set up. Thanks for the video. It is a big help. Was a little confused. Noticed it said to unplug the power to the unit screen when charging. Is that necessary? Was hoping to make up a 12v adapter to also plug in when using.
    Thanks

    When I first went to the VA to sign up I tryed myself to do this. Was a big mistake. Then Went to local county VA office and let them handle things.

    I always in the cold weather double up a moving blanket and put loosely over the generator (not covering the exhaust) and put in the back of truck with touno cover open just one flip. Seems to work

    Propane and regulator freezing up is usually because of lack of pressure in tanks in extreme cold weather. When cold, liquid propane gets into system instead of vapor causing many issues (regulator freeze up, regulator not reducing pressure properly) This could be dangerous. If you put a magnetic oil pan style heater on the lower side of the propane tank (being careful that you are away from the rubber propane line) then you probably wont have an issue. Also using an automatic regulator : Turn both tanks on slowly (pressure needs to equalize in system or safety valve in green nut hose area will limit the propane flow) & put regulator indicator lever toward the tank you are using. When it gets empty it will automatically switch to the opposite tank and the indicater on the regulater will turn red indicating that the tank it is pointing to is empty.(if cold sometimes will not show properly). Turn the indicator to the oppisite tank and it show green again. you can then remove the empty tank and get it filled.(sometimes the check valve in the regulater will let a small amount of gas seep out of the empty tank hose so use caution or turn off all propane and get filled)

    I was worried about redrilling holes with mine also. Had the 40V strikemaster before and it was hard redrilling. With the lite flight it was easy and the bit doesn’t seem to catch at all at the bottom of the hole. Sold the 40V

    It is 18” from the top of the floor. Use insulated hole sleeves. Used this past weekend at low and it was-27 overnight and stayed 68.

    I used on setting 1 but on the drill setting. From the research I did it seemed that was what others were doing. Got the same drill. Also not using the clam plate but I did hear that through thick ice it makes it easier. I am going to try without it for now and see how it goes. Trying to keep as light as possible

    I got the 8” and used a dewalt 996 drill and went out today and tried through 9” of ice. So far I really like it. The weight is the big thing for me. With age and bad shoulders it cut with ease. I will be selling my 40v now.

    A roof mount like they use on the Ice castles might not work anyway for you unless the roof is framed for it. Haven’t tried any of the thin window mounts. Winquard made a side mount round tube style but not amplified and couldn’t get hardly anything. Whatever you decide I would make sure it was amplified

    New cost – $629
    120 – extra seat
    50 – cover
    55 – sales tax
    New price -$854
    If my math is correct that for $600 mine is $254.00 less than new
    Thank You
