Owned one and that was enough. It was actually the one that spent many of its years at Perth Airport ( Scone ) though with the blowing gear parked elsewhere. It is now back together and was on its way to Australia last time I heard.

I quite liked the bigger FWD versions, which were common years ago but have now all vanished. Last one I saw was at the Kirriemuir woodyard twenty years back. I'm more into driving over snow than blowing it out the way, and there is an expensive new snow vehicle project in the offing unless someone else buys it and saves me a load of grief - can't say what or the sale would be sure to fall through.
