Well, we finally had enough snow to push on Wednesday of this week. The 782 did great on downhill and level areas, no so much on uphill areas when a big snow was being pushed. All that without chains. Was hoping the super aggressive tire tread would be good enough to not install the chains.

Had a neighbor call last night wanting her driveway pushed. So went out early this morning (10 deg F) and installed chains. Opened the gas valve, pulled the choke and it fired up on the 3rd try. I erroneously pushed in the choke too early and it died. After that, all I could get was a clicking sound from the solenoid. Sounded like battery was too low, but it wasn't. Put a jump on it and still clicking. Think the solenoid is stuck or bad. Had to call my neighbor and apologize for not being able to get it done.

The hydraulically actuated blade worked great though. Will get this thing running again and just put chains on in early winter to stay on all winter.
