blows strong but quality is questionable

I'm happy with the force with which it blows snow but had a weld break on the lifting arm halfway through the winter. Of the 2 inches +/- of weld at the bottom of the arm there was two spots of weld that penetrated the largest being less than 1/4 inch. You really need alot of weight to keep your tractor moving while blowing. My 118 pound wife has nothing but problems getting the machine to move without spinning the wheels in normal snows. I may need to gain 50 more pounds by winter for blowing because my 210 pounds even has trouble. I've got wheel weights and the keg that comes with the blower full of sand on the back. If lead wasn't so expensive i would fill the barrel with it.
