He explains how the blade angling switch works, notes the auto-throttle and air-ride seat, compares the blade against a snowblower he used previously, and admits it tears up sod a bit. It's casual and unpolished but genuinely hands-on, best for owners weighing blade versus blower.
Posted by the Maple Tree Homestead channel, an owner sharing personal, unscripted impressions from using his own tractor at home.
A small remote switch, the same one used for the grapple, turns the blade back and forth, grabbing and releasing like a loader function.
Yes, the owner says it hogs up the sod more than a snowblower did, though on this run he only dug up a little sod along the bank.
The owner likes the blade but says it is not a full replacement for a snowblower, which throws snow farther away from the driveway without leaving banks.
Stepping on forward or reverse throttles the engine up automatically, then it returns to idle, which the owner calls really handy.
