Love my 12 volt Conversion.

Shook off the snow, pulled off the tarp, got on and sat down (yow-cold!!), and she fired right up! Let 'er warm up for a spell, lifted the blade and went to work. Had the headlights on and the big rear worklight, lit up the whole 1000' driveway. Real pretty out there, and sky had cleared, so all the stars were twinkling bright. Even did my neighbor's drive.

I've got nothing against the 6-volters, but I shore do like my 12!

I prefer to clear off the drive down to bare gravel as much as possible. The cold did a pretty good job of freezing up the dirt, so I didn't get too much gravel pushed off to the side. There's a hill down towards one end of my drive, and when the snow gets packed down into ice, that can be a trouble spot. Besids, the wife looks at the nice clean driveway and has to admit that the money spent on the ol' 8N was (maybe) worth it!

Now to get around to those tire chains I've had sitting in the corner all year....
