Sorry for the late reply, but the snow plow is back in stock at HD for $329 and free shipping.  The manufacturer made a change to the plow lift handle to make it easier to raise/lower the blade without having to get up off of the seat and stopping the unit.   Don't know about moving dirt, but it should work with loose dirt.  I wouldn't use it like a bull dozer to break compacted ground. 

Thanks for the reply. I did get one from Niagara Falls N.Y. soon after I made the inquiry here. At the time there were some available in the U.S., so I order it through Home Depot online, drove across the border to pick it up, paid the Canadian taxes and after currency conversion it is cheaper than buying it from Home Depot Canada. The snow plow works really well, and I highly recommend it.

 

I also run into the battery charging problem, in that I not knowingly let the voltage drop too low (the outlet I plugged it into had no power) and the charger just wouldn't charge it. I took the battery out and charged them one by one and put them back in, and it all fine now.

 

I have another issue now and I wonder if anybody has any suggestion. The right hand side cutter motor would cut out whenever the grass is a little too thick (not very thick, just a little thick), but the left side is fine. The motor looks fine physically, inside and out.

The snow plow has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Does any body know where to get one? I need to ship it to Canada. Any feedback from users? Does it do a reasonable job of top dressing lawn?

Thanks.
