I am more than happy with my model 36 on my RF. We had a harsher than normal winter in 2013/early 2014.
Our dog was basically penned in with the snow and was getting cabin fever.(started to chew things up in the house.) I decided to tackle the entire winter snowfall at once to make a running path for him. The pic doesn't show it too well, but that was about 2 feet of hard pack snow, with a layer of ice in middle. Took a couple tries to get moving but once I did, it handled it no problem!
