    I almost fired up the snow blower the other day for an inch, just because. But it was too damn cold to stay out and finish everything at once. So I shoveled and warmed up as needed.
    I haven't even put gas in it yet:rolleyes:

    Way to much shit to go wrong...
    Follow that thing around all day on a construction site with uneven terrain.yea fall over and turn that into someone. Can’t feel the machine if something starts going wrong.

    Stop the remote / auto shit and use your brain and body combined to do something.

    They don’t discount the pros so you would take a good hit. I would still talk to them and see what they can do. Selling yours privately would get you more than a trade in. That blue is nice when seen in person. We have one on a lot here also.

    If they offered a Pro Access Cab I would have purchased one. I’m in the middle of adding most of the Parts on my Access Cab. I’m sourcing the parts from Toyota Dealers on line that are heavily discounted. I put neoprene seat covers on this Truck and really like them, so no Pro leather upgrade will happen. It will get most of the other parts though. Good luck with your ambition!!!

    Well just keep the fuel clean.
    I was having issues with it at one point.
    It would just shut off for no reason.
    So you know me, I dove into it.
    Remember this is a 9 year old unit.
    So I read up and I did pull it apart.
    I cleaned the photo cell and replaced the ceramic ignighter because the ceramic was so brittle
    It just fell apart in my hand.
    Adjusted the fuel pressure etc.
    It still shut off.
    So I started to dig and found out and researched flame color for the cell.
    I always ran kero. I switched to diesel.
    Not an issue after.
    Flame color is different and the cell loves it.
    I just make sure after the season I run it just about dry and add some kero to keep the fungus from growing inside the tank.
    It runs great on a 50/50 mix also but kero is twice the price of diesel.
    So also remember.
    It’s for open areas.
    I do run it In The garage for hours.
    I crack a garage door 2” and open the side door a touch.
    This one is 115,000 btu ready heater.
    I use it all the time for
    Thawing the snowblowers after a workout.
    Keeping warm doing stuff in the garage.
    You saw me get the ice out of the gen box.
    I also run it for 30 min on these cold days to help with starting the vehicles.
    Just be smart with them
    Keep the fuel clean.
    Don’t knock it around
    Should last a long time.
