Power lift is definitely a big plus. I can't imagine lifting one of those blowers by hand more than a couple times.
I have never had a blower on a tractor without power lift, but the spring trip blade with no counterweight is bad enough. Next year, except for the round hoods, I shouldn't have any "front line tractors" woithout power lift.
Oops, ME BAD. I had the 3 belt blower on the BIG TEN last year, but it had a counterweight.
I grew up without a powered lift. The rototiller was the worse, the 42" snowblower was not as bad. Dad started my on the 716 with mowing as that was easiest to lift, then snowblowing and finally a year or 2 later rototilling, just because how much armstrong lift you need.
Now days on my hydro lift, I sometimes wish I could have those preset lift levels for when you want to work at something at the same height all the time, but not all the way down or up. |
