The Deluxe model upgrades include a molded friction disk, and re-balancing of the frame. The molded friction disk provides more robust shifting, while increasing service life and durability. The axle position has also been relocated to improve the machine balance, ultimately making maneuverability easier. Plus, with the Auto-Turn steering system and interlocking controls, you’ll look forward to clearing snow, instead of dreading the chore.
