We really dodged the bullet this year as far as heavy snow. Now we are getting into some warmer weather and MAYBE I will be able to take the new Etrac out for it maiden voyage. I have been reading both the owners manual and Andy's book but it will take getting out with the machine to fully grasp what I have been reading. I'm one of those types that can read something twenty times and may or may not get an understanding of what I just read. BUT! show me one time and its locked in forever. I was told to use the coin mode that is preprogrammed in the machine to get the feel of things before I start tweaking things. After using the DFX for so long this will take a little getting used to I would suspect. I'm just thankful I have a place like this to come to for answers. thumbsup01 I might even do a little snow hunting this weekend.
