I used the previous iteration of this model last year for Greenscape in Massachusetts. I was a PM but had to step in at times when employees would call out and would have to run this machine. The heat is a nice touch to see in the new model but I remember my hands freezing even with good gloves. My recommendation, treat it like a snowmobile and use a electric handle bar warmer under the grips of the controls for some low cost creature comfort. Some sort of a quick float button would be nice too! Other than that the machine was great to run, lots of power, easy to work on/troubleshoot. The shovel holder and rear broadcast spreader is a nice touch instead of the salt bag carrier.

Very cool,compact, nice lil machine my only issue is the cost 18k for the machine and 2000 to 4500 for attachments. If my math is right to buy one with the plow,blower and sweeper I’m looking at 28k plus tax. Not saying it’s not worth it.also would like to see it go up against a normal snow blower and see how much faster it would be. Since we are trying to make money faster how much faster is it. Just for example say it takes me 15 minutes to clear a 20x50 drive way with a single stage 21 inch blower. If it got it done in five minutes I could do 3 drives to every one drive with the single stage.

nice compact machine would like to see it go up the slope as well and to offer heat deflection for warmer weather. been looking into these types of machines. would use the plow for grading as well, one of these i believe has a bucket may lift a couple feet but enough to move things around. also like that i don't need a big shed garage open space to store it like a skid steer or tractor nor trailer heavy duty enough to transport. not that i don't have one but not everybody does.

Primer and paint is not a two-stage paint paint in clear coat is a two-stage paint all paints have a primer applied prior. $18,000 and you can't even use the machine unless you buy an attachment for two to four grand after the fact. So 20K like I was thinking. I'd rather had just have a small used skid loader with a v plow like victory outdoor services has. It's perfect for sidewalks but it does much more than sidewalks. And if you find the right auction it's the same price. The machine is cool don't get me wrong but I don't think it's worth $20,000 with probably a Kohler lawn mower engine. I kind of feel the same way about the v-track the ventrac it has a small diesel engine but the rest of it looks like a riding lawn mower it's just stamp sheet metal super cheaply built and pretty damn expensive. Due to having two wheels on each corner it's very stable but it's not a Toro diesel tractor or a yanmar or anything like that.
