I just bought a 2015 Bobcat 3650 with the deluxe cab package and a snowblower attachment, primarily to clear the 500 foot long driveway on the house I am building. 15% grade for about half of that length. It had been rented for 100 hours to a contractor who used it only for transportation around the jobsite, so it was sold to me as new with a full warranty, just discounted nicely.

That's similar to my driveway and driveway-clearing setup, though am considering getting the angle broom attachment, as the blower rarely gets the driveway down to clear backtop, always leaves a skin of ice.

Yeah, I found one used one that had both the blower and broom, but had too many hours for my taste and was going to be quite a drive to get it. My dealer has the broom too, so I told him to let me know when he's ready to put it on clearance and I'll take it off his hands.

After its first run. Got my dealer to do the hydro tweak, and I got it up to 30 on a flat area while I ran it to my other property a couple miles down the road. Downhill actually got up to about 35.
