"Horses for Courses", is what we say around here.
We live in NW MI (LP). Probably somewhere around where TMcD blows snow. Can you say "Lake Effect"?? We can get a quick 6-8" snowfall over nite that wasnt even forecast by the "weather guessers". Normal winter snows are in the 250" range. Usually get a 20-24" blizzard or two every winter.
Our drive is paved and not even that long- 400' or so but all downhill and ya cant push snow across the town road- that's illegal. And big turnarounds in front of barn and garage, etc. Commercial plow trucks just make a mess out of our drive, build up ice underneath (NOT GOOD) all the time, etc etc. They try to plow uphill and then have nowhere to put it, etc etc.
Sooooo, a 60" NH 3PH blower stays on our K GL 3010 all winter along with the FEL. With any significant amt of snow at all, just backout of the barn, twice down the drive with the blower and - DONE except for cleanup in front of doors, walks, etc.
Horses for Courses. If I lived in KY, I'd just get a plow and be done with it.
HAPPY NEW YEAR everybody.
