That is what the original purchaser had heard also, but learned that it was not very good at clearing snow. He tried it once and was disappointed and purchased a snow blower instead. You might say that it was a expensive lesson for him. I have a walk behind sweeper that I use to dethatch the lawn and that is why I wanted this one. Getting too old to walk behind it and riding is a lot easier. I believe that I can sell my walk behind for what I purchased this one for. This sweeper is so clean that it looks just like it came out of the shipping box. I doubt that it has 30 minutes of working time.
My next search is going to be for the 60" blade, post hole digger, and tiller. If any one has any of these items that they want to part with or see them for sale anywhere in the Northeast, please let me know.
