We avg 10 feet of snow / year , sometimes as little as 4 feet and up to 15 feet ( both in the last 5 years) 2010-2011 179.4
2011-2012 50.6
:laughing:
Gravel driveway 150 feet long , clear out an area next to it on packed dirt lawn for extra parking . The road I live on is narrow and private so we pay for a pick up truck to plow it and if it is too warm early in the season they can't push the snow back much past the edge of the road or they will get stuck in the lawns , and the soft area at the end of the road where a lot of the snow ends up.
So in addition to just doing my driveway and extra parking area ( 1 1/2 car wide x 60 feet ) keeping the banks from the plow cut back till the ground freezes up each time we get plowed in the early season is something I need to be able to do most years.
The other , and very important , thing is that my wife ( maybe 120# suited up for winter ) also be able to move , turn , this blower when I'm not here to do it .
So I think I'm in the market for :
Something easy to operate , auto turn or similar
The ability to do some heavy work when needed
Ease of both starting and maint.
Longevity of the machine and engine
Unfortunately , the move up to a pro model is way out of the budget of just over 1k and definitely under 2k . No used machines need apply.
