Hi,

Totally had enough of clearing the drive of snow every couple of days. it is taking me a good 90 minutes as the drive is around 400m2.

Does anyone have any experience with snow blowers and where i can get a decent one from?
Been having a look at the machines from Ariens and Yardmaster as they seem to get good write ups in the States but am unsure if you can get these makes in the UK.
How easy is it to import something like this?


Cheers

Just been looking at the snow blower you bought

doesn't look to go down to ground level as in the picture I saw it has 2" stoppers on the bottom

I hope you get a good covering as it looks lik. You still be needing the shovel

Either way a you tube video is required Boys n toys and all that

The last load of snow in total hit 50cm+ around the house and shifting that amount of snow by hand is a
The dealer reckons it will be here next Wednesday and they will even give me full demo at the house next weekend.
There are a few Stiga snow blower videos on youtube that show what the machines can do.

Roll on next weekend

Of course all the snow will have melted away to nothing by then Red1  2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Hi. How did you get on with your snowblower. Did the dealer come? Is the machine any good? Which one did you go for in the end? How did it cope with all the snow that we got last year and the year before. Or is just a white elephant. Our track is about 200 metres which just fills in with snow off the fields. Too deep and too narrow to push the snow clear so I thought a blower might be the dogz wotzitz. Would be grateful for any hints or advice. Cheers  Brrr..its so cold.
