Hello all, I have a Vermeer BC600XL and in the fall and winter months water gets into the drum where the fly wheel is and freezes overnight, resulting in us having to spend 20 minutes every morning to free the wheel before we can start. We’ve tried to tarp it but it’s not a great solution. I was to drill a small hole or two into the bottom of the drum to work as a drain but it’d like to know if anyone has had a similar experience. Or has a reason I should drill the hole
