I also have Redline. Fairly light, 2000 lbs.( way more than my LX can handle), receiver for a ball, nice company to deal with and priced very competitively
When I said the shear bolt failed I meant it failed to do its job and shear. It did not shear and that is why I had the breakdown. I agree on Fluid Film, been using it for years.
Just seeing this thread now. I would have been stubborn and just went with snowblower and back blade. Would have taken a long time but I would have stuck with it. I moved 30” of fresh snow with only my back blade earlier this year. 1/4 mile driveway and 3 houses. My blower had issues at the time.
