Maybe it just looks big because the women pushing it is like 3'9" tall.

Real nice machine.... for the multi-millionaire who has everything but wants to clear snow himself. A bit of overkill. lol

I noticed the auger blades extend far beyond the housing which is the way they designed snow machines in the US years ago.
That would prevent snow from falling on the housing when snowfalls exceeded the height of the intake chute.

The disadvantages would be safety and accidentally chopping the bottom of your concrete stairs.

I saw a brochure for this last year.

1. The engine runs a generator which charges the battery and powers the two electirc motors, one for each track;
2. The auger housing automatically adjusts its hieght when you go into reverse.
3. You stear with the big joysick on top.
4. The chute direction and angle are adjusted electrically via a joystick.
5. If the machine comes under too much load it automatically slows down its foward speed.

Looked like something with an awful lot of things that could break.

Anyone have a price? Think they will come out with an Acura model?

This blower is still my favorite: 4 wheel drive hydraulic skid steer, 400+ HP, etc

"Looked like something with an awful lot of things that could break." .... It could, but I'll bet it wont! >>> Got a Acura (Honda) car and several previous Honda cars, an a Honda motorcycle. Nothing ever broke on these things! Many times it can look fragile on somes ways, but nothing is over done and everything is well done. It's simply superior ingeneering!

Awsome!
