Originally posted by JasonJ:<br /> I have an ancient huge Simplicity that runs like a Harley and can clear a sidewalk in one pass. I havn't had to use it until this year because I plowed snow in the winter and would hook my driveway up. Now that I no longer do that, I had to dust off the snowblower. Big beastly thing but it gets the job done.

Yeah I love those beasts....so loud, but so powerful.<br /><br />Only problem with mine is when I forget where the sidewalk/ driveway is and start tearing up grass and dirt. Really messes up the pristine look of the white snow when i do that

I've got a Honda that's about 12-13 years old. Pa bought it for us (me) as a house warming gift. I use it whenever we get more than about 4-5" of the white stuff. Anything less I usually shovel. My driveway is not huge, and I enjoy the workout.

I have the finest snowblower known to man. My neighbor Mik. He gets up before me, is highly motivated and works for brandy. <br /><br />Ahrens snow blowers are made in Brillon WI. Solid unit.

Re: anyone here have a snowblower?

Hey RustyL, I have the exact same model, except a few years older. To this day, the sucker runs great and throws snow like you wouldn't believe. You'll be very pleased, I am sure of it.<br /><br />Sean

What's a snow blower? Got a lawn mower, edger, and leaf/grass blower I have to use year round. The blower also works good to blow debris from pool deck or sand from curb.

Re: anyone here have a snowblower?

I've got an Ariens 2-stage, don't know the horsepower, it's so old all the writing is gone. But it still runs like a nose and throws snow any where from 2 feet to 2 miles depending on the wind.

Re: anyone here have a snowblower?

I had one for eight years. I loved the day I bought it and loved, even more, the day I sold it.<br /><br />I bought it in 1991 on my way home to Minneapolis, from Fargo.<br /><br />It was snowing with a prediction of 10+ inches-on Halloween. Turned out to be 29".<br /><br />I burned 5 gallons of gas, in that unit, in two days. Not bad for an 8 HP. Tecumseh-eh? In other words, I broke it in-HARD!<br /><br />It served me well until 1998 when I moved to AZ.

Re: anyone here have a snowblower?

I have an old Toro 4hp 21" two stage snow thrower. I think its a 1980 or 82. Came with a house I bought in '86. Found it needed maintenance, like belts, carb, adjustments, and a few missing bolts. It still runs great, and although I wish it was a little wider, it throws dry snow 20+ feet and wet heavy snow 6 to 8 feet. Saves my back every time. <br /><br />Someday I'll buy a new one. But I need this one to break bad enough to not warrent repairs.

I have my father inlaws 1970 toro 8hp 32" snowblower that starts most of the time on the first pull.

Re: anyone here have a snowblower?

treedancer-<br />I just fully restored a Ford 8N. I don't use it for plowing, as its pretty much to show standards now. It gets lite use at the cabin. I have an 8 HP Ariens for that.
