GEEE Sorry!!
I would post pics but I don't own a digital cam.
We got about 8 inches of heavy drifted snow here in northern NB. The blower started on the second pull and I started to blow. I couldn't believe how far the snow was being thrown, especially since it was quite heavy , at least 40 to 50 feet. As I neared the EOD i wondered how good the blower would perform but it surprised me again and launched the wet stuff a good 40 feet.
The remote chute as I've said before is awesome, even my neighbor who owns a honda marvelled at how quicky I could divert snow with it. The diff lock kept locking back up on it's own after I would unlock it. I contacted my OPE dealer and he came later in the day and adjusted it in my garage (go figure!) . I changed the break in oil after I was done my driveway then I blew two more driveways in my neighborhood for those who's machines had quit on them. My machine worked flawlessly!
I am very happy and now I can say I understand why Ariens owners are excited about their machines.
