I bought this last spring(08) with a 22hp Husqvrna. I love how it handles any snow, so far this year i have used it 4 times. Assembly wasn't bad i have seen worse. My problems with it are 1- the shute keepers broke over nothing 2- broke a shear pin over nothing 3-broke the belt and my local sears didn't carry the belt that i needed but could order it. 4- my finale and biggest problem is that the lift handle with its 2 spot welds broke off. with something that heavy you need more than 2 spot welds to hold it together. Lets work on that sears.
