I bought the Honda 928 with the wheels and Hydostatic drive and it is the snowblowing star of the neighborhood. Easily 50 feet with the chute elevated and no neighborhood Ariens will do that. It is not as heavy as my old 8 hp Toro, but starts and throws snow way better. What ever you buy, just make sure that it has enough horse power. Those little 5 and 6's blow snow, but they don't have the power to get snow up and over a bank and those tall banks at the end of the driveway are a hazard backing out
My other auto is a .45

I’ve never seen a snowblower.

Will be pushing it with my tractor this year. That will keep it out of the air. I’m sick and tired of blowing snow into the wind.

I saw a snow blower at Lowe’s, it sat there for two winters and I guess it got sent back.

There's a double entendre here someplace. Also, don't know anything about little wheeled machine snowblowers per se, I put a plow on my tractor. I like plowing. There may be a double entendre there as well. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/dcMi7OM.jpg)

You'd better hope your Ariens keeps running. There are no parts for them, and nobody (around here, anyway) will service them.
I had a Craftsman 24" that is still running flawlessly. But given the way Sears is going, I bought a Husqvarna and gave the Craftsman to my neighbors - who still shoveled. He's gone a lot and so I ended up doing their driveway AND the elderly widow's who lives next to them, too. This... My father lives just a hop, skip, and jump away from Rocky on the "bench" area. For as long as I can remember, it's been "Toro"... With the exception of an Aliis Chalmers that we bought in the early 70's.

Got a tractor? Get one of these: ![[Linked Image]](https://s20.postimg.org/g29mo46hp/DSC_4064.jpg) Throws snow about 75 feet - even further when down-wind... You are my hero!
