Yes, right to the pin all the time, Governed 2200rpm, I need to when cutting ice to the gravel, rpms run up and down under the strain when putting pressure on the blade to cut the ice, some operators at our sister shops just use float to try cutting ice, they think just making groves is ice blading, your better off dragging a spruce bow for all the good your doing.
Good stuff.
30 some years ago when I started running a grader it was an old 12 CAT with a pony motor. The Township Board President was introducing me to the machine. He said "She's a dependable ole girl. But you'd do better to grab a chicken by the feet and drag it down the road". I've never forgot that. And he was right.
