As some of you may have heard me say B4 I have a 900 foot driveway. It wouldnt be so bad but on both sides of the drive in parts are pine trees, that dont belong to me, and one of my neighbors put up a fence on one side 600' feet long. This makes it difficult to push snow with my Polaris or Bolens tractor because you have to keep trying to push the snow higher on the sides to get a path to drive down. I am thinking of buying a Simplicity snow thrower but The following things come to mind, #1--$1000, #2--only use it a few times a year in snow that is 6" or more deep. #3--if I pick up one piece of gravel I might jam the impeller, and break the shear pin. Of course a 8HP or 10HP snow thrower will be able to throw the snow over the fence and threw the pine trees. Do any of you guys have snowthrowers either walk behind or on your tractors. Right now I have snow knee deep all the way down my driveway on both sides, I have a 12'-15' wide path to drive down. Give me some experiences with snowthrowers, I have never owned one or used one. Thanks guys.
