Has anyone here looked into these random Paypal codes that you can sometimes use when you are making payments for products through Paypal? Apparently, you can enter in a coupon number into the coupon section of Paypal, and it will give you a discount.
 
How are the JBs for moving snow? I made a rear push blade last winter and it worked well - until I started to run out of places to push the snow.

I like snow blowers, but I also like the utility of a bucket / loader for all-season use.
 
Here is my take - Have had the JBSr for 5 years now. It is an extremely well built unit. The only limitation that i have found so far, is my tractors hydrolic system. To be effective, i find that you need a minimum of 200lbs counterweight.
For spreading materials it is great. But i have more often that not wished i had a full
loader to lift and make piles. You cant do that with the JB unless you run up or over,
and that causes the material you are working with to compact. For snow, it depends on how much snow you get. 8 inches or more and you will eventually need to pile it. Again something you cant do. If i were to do it again i would have taken my time to look for a loader. I plan on building my own loader, using the bucket from my JB. The part that mounts to the frame i am going to add a snow plow to.
Again this is not a replacement for a bucket.
 
How much weight do you have on the back in the grave picture? I recently dug a similar hole with the 728/JB Sr and had a little difficulty backing out (all 4 slipping). I don't have the bracket or any weights (yet).
 
The whole counter weight thing is a must for heavy lifting. I still have never really found a reason for a full loader, my JB SR dose all the work I need it too. The new V61s (not in picture) have really helped also.
