All of my neighbors have snow throwers and for the most part they all do the job very good except when its a real heavy wet snow which basically renders them useless. That doesn't bother the tractor one bit. They are amazed when they have to resort to shoveling (for hours) that I can just come along and do it in a few passes. Much LeRoux Blackberry Brandy is consumed during these times...

Lol... I thought I remembered seeing you go up that driveway in a GoPro vid of yours and then remembered your sarcasm which gave me a bit of a chuckle.

I have rules for the driveway also. You may visit if you want but if you get stuck, slide off the driveway or get no traction going up the hill either way, I aint helping. I'll call a tow truck and watch out the window with a cup of hot cocoa.
I no longer salt, shovel, push, pull or anything else to get a car unstuck. I usually have UPS and delivery people drop stuff off at my neighbors house. It can be a bitch to get up the thing in winter.

I'm cool with the snow throwing. I shoveled my driveway exactly 1x when I first moved in. Told Megan never again. It was thick wet snow and took hours. Being set back from the road sounds so good in theory.

Yep. The plow service comes out when it is 1" or more.

This is a blast to drive in the snow!

I can clear a 10 inch snow in 30 minutes on a driveway/apron/sidewalk area that consumes about 2,000 square feet.

Have a great day everyone and enjoy the games!
I got an antique 2 stroke Snapper snowblower that was my dad's. It's got to be 40 yrs old. I've replaced the the rubber blade wipers twice, the belt 3 times, and the spark plug about 4 times. The thing just won't die.
