Snowblower What about Lorenze snowblowers?

[preferajag]

Advise please!!!

I made a bad mistake back in the late summer and purchased an elderly Farm King 60" snowblower. I have spent more time sorting out problems than I have blowing.

I live up a rough road in the UT mountains, so I have to cope with rocks and snow drifts.

I like the look of the Lorenz 78" blower - their concept of using paddles instead of the usual Auger seems good, since iot is far less likely to wind a small rock into the system and jam it up. However, I have not met anyone who uses a Lorenz.

Are they good? do they work in powdery snow?

Should I seriously consider this - or maybe should I go for the more expensive Schulte which my neighbor swears by?

All comments welcome! Thanks

I'm not familiar w/ Lorenze. I have a 60" Lucknow 2 stage blower. We have a gravel drive, so it has seen a fair number of rocks each year until we get a packed base.
