Looks good. Now close your trunk.
How's it work? Should be a lot easier to deal with.

Still had to put away my air pump lol. Just assembled today but seems compact and lighter than my Craftsman. It certainly pulls. Already drove it into the garage wall...

I hate Torch Red. Murr ruined that colour for me with his Prince song on the "Favourite Driving Tunes" thread lol...
Congrats on retirement! More road time in your beautiful Vette.

No, I retired the shovel that worked for 39 years as of yesterday. I've been free for over 3 lol...
Once we get a bit of snow I'll be very interested to hear your review. I currently have a 20 year old 28 inch Craftsman and it works OK although the steering set up is very poorly designed and no longer works. My double wide drive is 80 feet long but the snow never gets very deep and the windrow from the snow pow is never too bad as I live on a court and they plow the snow to the center rather than the side of the road. I have looked at this unit and always wonder if I would need an extra pair of batteries?

I'm hoping we don't get any snow to try it out lol. If we do I'll follow up...
Ahhh. I misunderstood.
Looks like you need / use a tractor. The electrics have tons of torque so I bet it will work fine for Jack. I'm wondering about the electric lawn tractors they have now.
Question is how long will it run at -35c ? Probably fine though for southern Ontario.
It would be like the electric cars. Good for up to 600 km. They fail to mention at -35 Good for 200km.
Anyone who has ever pulled a cordless tool out of the back of their truck at -30 or -40 and pulled the trigger to hear a tiny groan gets it . Surprisingly though many don't.It would be like the electric cars. Good for up to 600 km. They fail to mention at -35 Good for 200km.
Agreed. battery tools don't like the cold either. Went out west and cut a load of tamarack yesterday. It was - 20 and even my gas chainsaw complained. Had to put it on the front floor of my truck with the heat on before it would consider starting. A balmy -29 here this morning. Starting to warm up now with the sun out.
