Well the last couple days have been a good work out for my 1811 with 450 blower. We got just over a foot with some nice 4-5 ft drifts from a nice Noreaster . Very impressed how she handled it.
I definitely need more weight on the back of the tractor for the bottom of my driveway though . The grade is pretty steep and I slip even in slush pulling back up . Finding the right speed and leaning back over the back wheels with a nice run up seems to be best. I think a few suitcase weights will fix it and if it doesn't will think about filling the tyres.
I did notice the V- belt the previous owner installed on the 450 and had written in pen under the hood was 5/8 x 82" ...the part number states an 84" ...will the 82" be too tight and be likely to break on me . ? - seems to be working o.k...
Thanks a lot again guys!
Tom
