Snowblowers

[bigb]

Also, maybe worth noting, I'm a girl, weak, work full time, school full time, young kids full time, and hate shoveling...so would love something easier, if it's not easier will need to reconsider, but when I see gramps rocking the snow blower it looks tempting.

Find some neighboring teen boy and see what they would charge to shovel your walks.

Sadly the oldest boy in the hood is mine, he's seven, and I love him but he can't get the ice ...however maybe I can creep around the surrounding blocks for talent.

Fwiw, if I'm choosing between snow blower or shovel and they are the same price I definitely take the snow blower..... But they are not worth what they cost imo

I respectfully disagree. I have had the same snowblower for 5 or 6 years now and have never had a problem with it. I don't use it if there is less than an inch or so, but any more than that and it cuts the time it takes me to clear my driveway and walks substantially.

I think it is relevant to point out that my house faces north, so 2/3 of my driveway doesn't see direct sunlight during the winter. Not much natural melting.

Is this thread only about the snow ones?

Coke, snow, blow, whatever your fancy, Mr. Rock Star.

Bronco, what kind do you have? Gas? Electric?

I bought a pretty good $400 one four years ago and it's still sitting in its box, despite a solid half dozen to dozen snowstorms we've had out here over that span.

Sounds logical

You made a good investment I reckon. Buy low sell high. That bad boy will be worth it's weight in gold if you're patient

It's gas. Two stroke engine, so I have to mix my fuel, but I have other things that run on the same mixture, so it's not a big deal to me.

Brand wise, it's a Toro. Never given me any problems.

Sounds like we may have the same one. It really is amazing how well it works. The only downfall is the two stroke engine smell of the exhaust. I can't use it before work or I smell like a gas jockey.

I run a big Honda one. It starts easy and can do the sidewalk in one pass. Takes like 10 minutes instead of a hour if I shovel.
