Its actually a 3 point hitch adjustment. By lengthening the adjustable 
top link it changes the angle of the snowblower so it tilts downward 
towards the ground a little. This makes a huge difference in hard snow. 
In fact without that adjustment I could not get the blower to cut in to 
hard snow. It would just ride up over top of the snow. If you have a 
three point hookup on yours then that is the way to go.

Charlie, your right about needing a creeper gear (especially while 
holding a camera) although Cockshutt has a pretty low reverse. The first 
trip through deep snow is always the worst as I have to take a full 6 
feet. After that I can just shave off a foot at a time each pass.

And shooting video while snow blowing is not easy, at 8 degrees (F) when 
the fingers start to freeze up on the camera. But I  wanted to get a 
little video of the job and this was the only way.
