I've got what appears to be that same Erskine model, but on my skidsteer. Have had it for about 13 years. It's a beast; indestructible. The only operating issues I've had are (1) the chute will sometimes slowly clog in wet snow, even at full throttle. I just keep a small pry bar with me to clear the chute. And (2) in very cold conditions (close to zero degrees), if you stop the blower, the moisture created by the compressed snow will instantly freeze the fan. Ice builds up as it is being used. The hydraulics aren't strong enough to break the bond (59 hp skidsteer). I keep a 10lb hammer with me and just tap the fan blades to break the ice bond. These two issues pretty much apply to any snowblower though.
