Re: John Deere 1130 SE

This is my 3rd season with the 1330SE. It's actually my first and only snowblower. It's worked well enough for my needs, and is probably a bigger machine than I actually needed. Having said that, I don't think I would want to use this thing in a commercial application. In my opinion, the whole friction disk drive mechanism does not seem very robust, but I guess that type of setup is fairly common in snowblowers.

I built a house, moved in and bought my first snowblower, 30" dual stage, last year. All I can say so far is that 1/2" of snow is no match for it. It tears that $hit up.

How does forced induction change an engine's compression ratio? It doesn't impact the bore or stroke of the engine.

Re: The "Friction Wheel" versus The Hydrostatic Transmission drive debate

I would much prefer a hydrostatic drive, but I'm not sure how much more I would be willing to pay to get one. I had chest pains paying what I paid for my 1330SE, and it seemed like a decent deal with 10% off and 18 months no interest. It might be fun to try and reverse engineer a hydrostatic drive. I'm in my mid 40's, and pretty much every riding mower we ever owned had a hydrostatic drive. I believe this is the first piece of equipment I've ever owned that has a friction disk drive. Some of the self propelled push mowers we had when I was a kid may have had a friction disk system, but I'm not sure.
