Dass, Have you seen the Normand or EcoNor brand snowblowers? We used to sell Farm king,, and have sold Agrotrend etc.. but we like the Econor for the money now. I think the smallest they offer is a 54" though. If you really want a 48, I may have a line on a left over with one of my distributors.. let me know and I can see if it is still available.
I am less than 2 hours away from you.
