Todd, I remember when you bought the 1860. I always run the 50" blower at near-wide open throttle, which is what is recommended by Kubota. You will find that any blower will bog somewhat in heavy, wet snow. If it is throwing black smoke you need to slow down some and let the engine get back to speed. I don't think the extra five HP will make a big difference under those circumstances.
Now if you just want a new toy, that's a different strory.
