Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

  I haven't seen any posts about small throwers.  I want something narrow that will fit in a single-car garage that actually has a car in it.  24" would be the maximum, but less would be preferable.  The driveway isn't large, and it is paved, but once I have my hernia operation I'm not going to be interested in shoveling any more snow for a while.
  In particular I'm hoping for a machine that can gnaw through the ice build-up that occurs because I tend to just drive over the snow for a while until I get around to dealing with it.
  It needs to be able to throw the snow a decent ways... there's a retaining wall beside the driveway and by the end of the winter the drift might be 8' above the driveway.  It really sucks to fling the snow up there with a shovel.

  Any thoughts?  I'm not afraid to spend money on a good machine.

  I'm assuming the serrated augers are for ice?  Do they work?
