I have snowblowers mounted on 45 HP Ford
tractors and several walk behind Ariens
snowblowers and some small Toro single
stage snowthrowers. I have also used
garden tractor mounted snowblowers - avoid
these if you can as they are overpriced, lack
tractoion, get stuck easily and break down
often. Most of my work is on gravel and the
only time I have had a rock cause a problem is
when one was knocked from a retaining wall
into the drive. It was about 6"+ in size.
Smaller ones go through the machines with
no problem BUT be careful you don't throw
toward buildings, windows, or vehicles.
If you have need for a tractor then consider a
blower for it but if you don't need or want a
tractor then I suggest you get the biggest,
most powerful walk behind snowblower there
is. At least 10 HP but preferably 13. In small
snows they can move very quickly in a higher
gear but you have the power for drifts or the
really deep storm. I know they can easily cost
to the $2,000 range but is a one time
purchase and will last forever if you take good
care of them.
