After 15 years of service, it's looking like time to replace our 10 hp two stage Yard Machine snowblower.
Any recommendations on a 2 or 3 stage machine with at least a 300 cc engine? Looked at a tracked version at Tractor Supply's web page. Are they a good value? Who makes a very good unit at a reasonable price?
Be not weary in well doing.

We have a John Deere snowblower that doesn't get much use anymore because of plows on ATV's..It's been a great snowblower though..They are running $4-500 used around here..

Just noticed the birthday cake. Happy one for you, I hope. PM coming...
Denton, I highly recommend Ogden Lawn and Garden (just off 12th street at the RR tracks). They sell several brands at competitive prices but their service department really sealed the deal with me. They are superb. I bought my Husqvarna there.

I have a Troy-Built Arctic Storm 30 inch with a 357cc engine. Has been a great machine, will blow even heavy wet snow with ease.

Before you buy a blower on tracks, move one around on a concrete floor without running the engine. My Honda 928 had the option of tracks or wheels and everything I heard even at the dealer was that the track versions take a lot of effort to move around when they are not powered. The hydrostatic Honda blowers have a lever that disengages the transmission and a wheeled one rolls around easily.
Not that it is of the utmost importance at my age, but how does someone get the cyber birthday cake icon? A belated happy one anyway.
