Aye, I did, and am now checking ebay listings for a replacement tookus. I froze my main tookus off and it's buried in a drift. My spare tookusses are all the thin, sporty summer models.
What I should do is shop plow blades, but it's WAY the wrong season to buy them...
I ALWAYS get the extended warranty on tookuses. They're just too expensive and go out too often. Well worth the $13/year.
If you have a riding mower, look into a snowblower attachment. I love mine. 48" wide and I can do AL of my snow clearing with it. Driveway and walkways. Just my ยข2.
No not at all. Mowing is much harder on my mower than snow blowing. I bought a 48" blade first off and pushing snow was extremely hard on the mower. Then I bought the snowblower and it's smooth as silk. Plus it throws the snow about 50-75 feet, so it's GONE. No piles left to melt next to the driveway in the Spring.
Also, it takes a 1-2 season rool and turns it in to a 4 season tool. Instead of just sitting there all winter. I can use it for mowing in the Spring/Summer, picking up leaves in the Fall and snow removal all winter. Guys around here want $50 per plow which can get costly after 5-10 snowfalls every season!
