Guess Iv had a few in my many years. The latest, a friend told me of a 1995 Harley Davidson Sportster 883, one owner, had 5520 on it for $2500.00. Was not even looking for a bike but when I saw it, thats all it took, like new.
Don't run a MMM, on the rear PTO I run a RFM an RC at 2600-2800 rpm's with good cuts. With the blower it depends on the snow, will vary from 2800-3000 rpm's.
I had made the chute controler out of a car window motor. Had less than $20 in it,this, will be my 4th year of use. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMcQ6Yz1K3U
May have to jump ship for this. I had a drip two also, drilled the dip stick an wrapped some furnace filter around it an wire tied. No more leaking, think the build of heat while running it caused + pressure...
Take Me about 5 mi to attach these. And they are looking for a new home. FEL or 3ph

The tractor comes in just over 1300 lbs, loader a little over 350lbs. not sure on the BB give or take 350lbs. Your right at 2,000lbs I did the same as you. I now have the 14' tandem with brakes, much more stable an safer in my mind. JMO.
