I love my B212 with hydraulic lift but do a ton of reversing when snowblowing. I really needed a hydrostatic so I ended up buying nice clean 912 Hydro from a former local AC dealer.

I replaced the hydro drive belt, replaced a blown headlight and added my weights and chains. I used it for the first time today clearing 3 foot hard packed drifts out of the driveway. I've always liked the looks of the 900 series. I thought I would miss the B212s hydraulic lift but I am impressed at how easy the 912's manual lift works with little effort. Also there is no float option with the hydro lift on the 900's. I forgot how big these 900 tractors really are. There's a boatload of hood in front of you when you're behind the wheel.

There's a lot more room for your Bunny boots on the 912 also.

That's for sure Chris. My old firemans boots fit great on the running boards. Also, thanks Jon!

The B212 is going back to the friend I bought it from. His B10 plow tractor blew its motor before this last storm. I am glad to see it staying with someone in the hobby.

I have to adjust the neutral on the 912H. It likes to creep a little backwards.
