So how did everyone make out with their machines of choice? Much of the area I had to clear was hardpacked by the wind. It was also higher than the top of the machine's opening. I would plow into it, let the augers undermine it, pull back and hit it again. Often had to knock it down though.
After 3-4 hours, the machine started to stall when the impeller must have been overloaded. At least I that
s what I think. If I disengaged the auger/impeller when it began to struggle, it would return to normal. Also started to hear a clunk when engaging.....I will explore that today. Any thoughts on that?
