Through the knowledge I've gained through these forums, I'm going to go with a rear snow blower - looks like the right fit for my situation.
Now the choice: stick with a manual crank for rotating the chute or spend a few hundred for a hydraulic rotator (I already have the rear hydraulic available)? I do have an open platform so keeping the snow off me is important.
having never run snow blower in my life I have no real sense of how often one is moving the chute and how easy it is. I have about 800' of driveway with one curve and it does a large circle in front of my house. I frequently have some wind blowing.
Suggestions?
For those with a hydraulic chute rotator - do you often use it? Would you go back to manual?
