We only got about 3" of snow yesterday. Last year I wouldn't even have gotten the snow blower out for it, but this year is different. I installed a factory plow set up on my Max IV on Black Friday after I finished replacing worn idler sprockets and reinstalling the t-20 support upgrade as well as some general service stuff. My 20 min snow blow job is a 5 min plow job with the max. It is much more fun to use the max, and almost makes me wish I had a bigger driveway. She pushed great. I have not installed a heated throttle on it, and was a bit concerned it would have been frozen when I went out there, but I had set an Iv bag up with antifreeze on the throttle cable during my service work. Not only was the cable free, it was smoother than ever! I wish I remembered who posted about that nifty trick, I owe them a big thank you. I can't wait to get the chance to clean my driveway again. It's going to be a fun winter!!!
