We;; we got 2/2.5" of snow over night so this afternoon I was like a Kid with a new toy had to try the Kubota blower, also wanted to see how long it took to drive from the shop to my house, 12 minutes it takes blew the little bit of snow gave me a chance to operate the tractor &bower and that went good But you are right Chris its takes some practice to get use to the Kubota foot control forward nothing to it but reverse is a son of a gun but I didn't run or back over anything so that was good. Had the diesel heater going had it on high (H6) when I left the shop about 7 minutes of heading for the house turned it down 2 notches to H4 now it wasn't real cold here today about 24*F no sun and I just had a baseball cap and light duty leather gloves and I was comfortable. I like it
