GR2120 Would NOT buy again!

Thanks for the info. I was wondering if that mower awareness switch was going to be annoying. I assume it switches back automatically when you go forward again, meaning that everytime you reverse you have to flick the switch again.

The RMA is a pushbutton switch, so before you go backwards (with mower engaged), you have to push switch, or engine dies. I only had RMA switch operational for 5 minutes, my experience with it is minimal. I also disconnected seat switch.

Did you get the rear weight kit with the snow blower? I did not, with 4WD was not necessary, plenty of traction and weight, but, we do not have Nova Scotia winters...

Yup. Got the weight kit thrown into the deal, plus the extended warranty for free.

I was thinking of mounting an electric spreader to the weight bracket so I can blow and salt at the same time. In the spring I can use it as a seed/fertilizer spreader. I’ll have to wait and see how much I can load it up with electrical accessories.

If you engage the pto for a deck or blower you only push the button one time while the pto is engaged.If you turn it off,you hit the button again.I hit the button as soon as I start mowing and watch the red light flash all day,no big deal really.

Extra circuits should not be a problem.Id be leary of a salt spreader.I've seen too many prime movers destroyed with rust.

That was my concern too, but it will be getting a liberal coat of fluid film.

Oh yes. I saw that. A few cool attachments. Hopefully there will be more options in the future.

So I picked it up today, and it just so happened we got one last blast of winter. This gave me the opportunity to put it to the test. It exceeded my expectations, so I知 quite pleased. The button was a bit of a nuisance at first, but I learned quickly just to engage it right away. It only killed the engine on me once before I learned that lesson.
