I have a yard machines cheapo and it's halfway decent, emphasis on halfway. It's put together real cheaply. The cutting edge is prolly 1/16" thick...

My pops just bought one of them craftsmen ones, with the joystick. It seems allright. It has bottom levers that are steering clutches. I just assembled it for him I never ran it, so couldn't tell ya

Brucer if its a steel tank and you can weld cut it open wire wheel it and then weld it back! Or, I'd fill it full of all sorts of abrasive things and put it in a hamster wheel.

Make sure you have spare shear bolts and auger belt. Also clear the area to be worked before it snows, door mats and frozen newspapers are hard on the machine. ;D

So is a 20' cable dog lead. Don't ask how I know :

Was the dog attached? One of my customers did that, the dog wasn't hurt but absolutely terrified of the machine afterwards.

No dog attached.
When I am home they are free range.

Lost a nice 50' garden hose. It did not shear the bolt, but it was a real pain getting it unwrapped from the auger.
