The beast
Would RecommendJust bought for February 26 snow storm, great machine only thing i would have liked would be the tracks but could not find them anywhere, i got lucky and found this one in Loews, i mainly use it for the back yard 100'X100' for our 100lb dog, i lifted the skates up so it dosent rip up the grass, used it 2 times so far and its a beast, i will be ordering tire chains for it, love this snow monster.
