I agree with Matt, also I think a hydro has a little better traction advantage because it will slow down a little rather than spin out. Thats just my personal opinion. Just a note, you are gonna love plow day, and if you need and help with set up or anything we can help you out. Bring your super, I'm sure you will love to plow with it
