WOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWW!! That exactly what I has hoping for. What's your budget? Honda's are to of the line. Next in my book are Ariens Professional models, Toro, Simplicity. How much do you have there? Oh, and by the way, Hey Welcome sasrlp, glad to have you here.

I procrastinated this summer in purchasing one, now it has come back to bite me.

I initially thought a Toro Snow Commander would meet my needs 90% of the time. However the last two snowfalls here have changed my mind and I want

something that can handle 99% of the snow dumps. This current storm is a rarity however, storms of 10-15 are common. We are Currently at 30+ inches in Marion, Ma still very

windy and snowing hard. I believe I will end up with a Ariens 926dle at some point this summer. Time to go shovel!

Yes, Siree Richie, started at half throttle full choke, eased off throttle, then put at full RPM, now down to idle.

I have your answer. A V-8 engine should do the trick!

Hi...

An 8 horsepower 2-stage snowblower will do the job...
A smaller one will too... but most of the smaller ones have a lower intake housing height...

With the snows there... a tall intake housing height is desirable...

Yes, keep on it and you'll get it. Good to see that you are coming inside and taking a break now and then. Keep those pictures up, so we can see how you're doing.

That looks like 7 or 8 feet of snow. Crap man, I have never seen that much snow in my life!
