I finally got to blow some snow last Sunday with my raider 8. This was my first time ever using a blower and it wasn't bad. If I didn't have that cab I would sell the blower. My window was completely cover at one point. The snow was a little heavy so it didn't blow it too far. And it was a little windy and I couldn't blow with the wind. I do need a set of 6x12 chains though.
