Currently I have an armstrong (manual) lift on the 147. I am seeking advice on what to do with the E lift, and when to use it.

Keep in mind I mow, push a snow blade, occasionally (rarely anymore) lift a tiller, and a 10" plow. I have a spring assist so that will help alleviate the stress and keep the longevity of the unit. I was thinking about putting the e lift on for the summer (mowing) and put the armstrong lift back on in the winter for plowing snow, or if I decide to go to go (dirt) plowing put it back on then. What is keeping me from putting the E lift on and leaving it is knowing the cost of the replacement parts and making it work 'too much' moving snow and dirt. (also, won't I lose some of the height of the snow blade with modifying the lift bracket to fit the E lift, and can I still get the same full range of depth with dirt plowing?)

Or do I say to heck with the manual lift lever, run the E lift and if it breaks it breaks, fix it?

Thanks
