OK my Yankee and Mid-western friends, grade my first efforts on moving snow with a Cadet. So we have 9" of snow that will not hold you up (no good for sledding), you sink pretty deep in it. I used the 124 to clear in front of the garage (it never melts there). Now I did not intend to clear it all the way down to the concrete as we are getting sleet and freezing rain now--figured something not so tough under the bottom would be easier to scrape away. Anyway, lawn mower handles great on the concrete, pretty much a fast idle in low gear. I had trouble trying to get to the concrete while driving on gravel, one wheel would break through to the ground. I also had a little trouble with this when backing up on the concrete, got it "stuck" twice. So, is it the conditions or do I just need chains? I'm running loaded skinny ags with 160lbs of weights on the drawbar and my 200lb in the seat.
