I'm going to look at a used 42" snowthrower attachment for my JD GT245 this weekend. It's listed as being in excellent condition, and the price seems fair compared to a new one, even though the seller doesn't have the chains and weights a new one would have.
With this being my first house, and not having any experience with snow removal (exept with a shovel), does anyone have any advice, opinions or first hand knowledge of these attachments? It appears (from web site photos) to be single stage.
I had the neighbor offer to plow for me last year a few times, and I was greatful for him doing it, but you get what you pay for -- and this was for free.... I had a lot of gravel in my lawn in the spring. The driveway is mostly large, loose gravel, and I'm thinking that the snowthrower, especially if it's adjustable, would be better than a plow in this case.
Thanks for any info.
