Ok, at my house after the storms, I use my MTD Yard Machine, 10 hp 28 "... I purchased this about 10 or 12 years ago at Home Depot to replace a 1978 Toro 8 24 I had... Its been a good machine except for replacing the starter once,,, and I find it comparible to a few of my neighbors Ariens, but just not as fancy... On the other hand, when I finish here, I go across town to my buddies house who is battling cancer to do his driveways.. He just bought a new Honda 1132 with the tracks, runs great, blows snow a country mile, but I feel like I just wrestled a bulldozer for an hour as far manueverability goes.... Just curious what every uses if they don't have blower on there GT, oh, by the way, I had sold the Toro to buddy of mine, its still alive and kickin every winter........
