I am currently 68 yrs of age and the 24" snow fall we had was too much to shovel. Besides our driveway is 12 mile long. Purchased the tracked snow blower because of the 6+% grade of the drive.
At 300 lbs, this thing is a hand-full to maneuver. However, when blowing 24" of snow for a mile, you need a lot of snow blower.
This machine does an excellent job. It hauled me back up the hill without slipping, the tracks are just perfect.
I broke 4 shear bolts in the first two weeks of operation & had the impeller ingest a fist sized rock that stopped the engine dead. This machine just kept on
The manual is well written and explains how to make routine repairs and adjustments.
As soon as it stops snowing, I am looking forward to getting my new Ariens snow blower out and attacking the 20" of fresh powder.
