As with most things tractoring related, what works best for one doesn't for others. </font>
MikePA, I do tend to make generalizations, so I'll agree with you on the specifics being what dictates what works best. In my area the only damage I can do with a blower is shooting a little gravel into the yard when I do my neighbor's drive. There is nothing else around to hit. On my drive I do have to be careful near the front door area. But for the most part I can just let the snow fly. My drive is not long but it is curved with a small slope the other one I get to regularly is more of an "s" shape and with a steeper slope, I find that trying to push snow with an FEL on curves spills too much out of the bucket. The back blade works better for me on both of those drives, but landscaping along the edges of the drives takes a real beating when snow is pushed on to it. The blower solves all those issues by throwing the snow over the landscaping into the yard and/or woods and it does it FAST!
KrisHansen . . . I couldn't get the video to load!
Sherpa . . . you can feel sorry for us, but I look forward to any snowfall I can get and I really love it when we get anything over 8". But I might just be one of the crazy few.
