cschannuth 3,795 #26 Posted December 3, 2019 With the upsized engine pulley the 6.5 Predator Rat has a top speed of almost 9 mph. I usually push the little 42” blade at about 3/4 throttle or 7mph on my concrete drive and it really rolls it over nice. 2 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,735 #27 Posted December 3, 2019 The majority of our snow events are wet heavy snow and I have hold the speed down a bit or the weight of the snow will push the front of the sideways. If it is light and fluffy I agree with the need for speed. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That trip you took down with the broken axle the snow wouldn't have had time to push you sideways. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
