I've been lurking for a while as I search for a larger GT to move snow, mow the acre of lawn and keep my trails knocked down on the other 10 at my new (first) home, and maybe even run a tiller. I've been leaning towards a wheel horse but haven't found any locally worth the asking price.
I have stumbled across a 7116 with the deck, blower, vacuum, and trailer for the vac in good condition for a fair price. I'm going to take a look at it and am curious if there is anything specific I should be looking for. Do I understand correctly that this model should have a a hydro deck lift, as well as hydro lifts front and back?
I currently run an 88 Craftsman 12hp 38" with a 40" blower and 6 speeds+reverse. It moves all but the heaviest snow VERY well with the single stage blower. I'm guessing that this 7116 is a significantly heavier machine and will do an even better job than the craftsman has, right? Thanks in advance and for all the help I've gotten so far.
