Snowblower recommendations

Bill86 · 12-19-2010, 02:40 PM

When I lived in MI we had a smaller craftsman my mom could run. My dad used a gigantic maybe 15 year old snowblower forgot what it was but ....it had tracker type tires and had enough HP to do the street in 3 feet of snow. My advice pick up a used beast of a snowblower for yourself and maybe a nicer smaller one your wife can use. If we still had any snowblowers I'd shoot a quick picture. Sorry, It's been 5 years so my memories a bit bad.

EDIT the thing is the smaller snowblowers that are easier for women to use won't do the job in 3 feet + of snow, they'll stop every few feet and you'll have to back up and go at it again. So you almost kinda need two of them.

EDIT again, seems it was an 8HP Dual stage. Ariens, toro are good brands.
