I need a little help, or at least some ideas from everyone.

You have seen pictures of my drive.  It is pretty big and steep at the top.  I need to hand sand it frequently and I am getting tired of this to be quite honest and time is becoming even more scarce for me not less....

I toyed with the idea a few years ago of getting something like a fertilizer spreader to throw the sand/salt mixture that I get free from the town.  Something with rubber tires that would not slip on the ice and something that would throw a lot of sand AND not clog.

Guys and gals within reason price is not an issue as it is something I would use forever as I never see myself not living where there is snow and lots of it.

Again most important for me, really throws the sand, doesn't slip on the ice and does not clog up all the time.  Once in awhile I can deal with the occasional clog but not all the time.

OK does anyone know of something that fits the bill?

I won't be buying it this year as the season is coming to an end but next year it is on my list of considerations along with a trimmer which I must have.

Thanks for any ideas you all might have.....
