Wet snow yesterday about 5-6". The 926 didn't know it was supposed to be a bit more difficult to remove. I was about halfway done with the drive when I realised the machine was throwing it as far as some of the lighter stuff. This was nearly slush, I guess some of it was. Anyway it was a fairly decent test for the new unit. Happy with the overall performance.
I'm thinking of fabricating some longer skid plates to acheive a smoother "ride". My drive is quite broken and very uneven in spots. I have the skids at 1/2" and I still get some sudden impacts. I'm thinking that longer skids would help the 926 over the rough spots. It was no big deal in years past with a lighter unit, but the 300lb machine seem to find all the rough spots. Any thoughts here?
Now this crazy idea, and I'm sure I'm not the first. How about a spring loaded scraper bar? On my machine an assembly could be mounted in existing holes, behind the blower housing with no modification of the framework.
I guess I'm thinking that the inteface between machine and pavement could be improved.
Any input + or - will be appreciated.
Enjoy the New Year,
John
