First, the QA42 on my 125 just amazed me once again. Clearing my neighbor's driveway I had drifts up to hood height. Somehow the QA 42 managed to throw snow. My only problem was the cotter pin for the chute control broke ( I've had the QA42 for 12 years ). Neighbor Vic had the correct size hair pin and I was back in business.
Second, I really like my IH Windbreaker but I think at just under 6' tall and 220 lbs, I'm about maximum size for anyone to comfortably use one. As snow collected on the roof, it touched my head and also my left knee was against the door so I could control the speed / direction with the hydro lever.
Snow coming into the cab wasn't too bad. I have a hydraulic lift on the 125 and the IH Windbreaker wasn't sculpted to fit around it.
All in all it was a good day.
