I'm only 60 years old but find it tougher and tougher to shovel the snow in my front yard ,driveway.
I live in a rural area and get a lot of snow every winter so I'm thinking if I find a good powerful/reliable snow blower ,I could use it for the next few years without hurting my back.
The problem is I have a long slanted driveway that's not even paved so I would need a machine that could go up the slope,plow all the way to the top,around the car ,mail box and back down to be stored in the shed.
I just don't know:
#1) how many horse power?
#2)tracks or wheels?
#3)steerable or not?
#4)2 stage?
#5)do I need extra features like,lights/heated handles?
Too many choices (Ariens,Toro,)but the amount to spend might limit the search($1400).
Do you have any suggestions.
