I had 2 beers last night. On first reading, your suggestion read like this to me:
2) Find a second wife to operate my snowblower.
Let the creativity juices flow.
Happy New Year everyone.
It seems many of us are in the same boat. lol
Happy New Year!

aa335, that was pretty funny. Thanks. You weren't too shy to speak your mind. Just so you know. I did exactly what you suggested, a year earlier. :) . Both #1 and #2 The wife has never touch a snowblower or a lawnmower since, so that problem #2 is solved.

Is that the Honda HSM1590i? It sure looks like it. I didn't think they made those any more. No doubt with skid steer on the treads it would be a breeze to turn. That's also a hybrid engine as well right?
I bet it weighs a ton, but probably moves snow with authority!

<BR><BR> Is that the Honda HSM1590i? It sure looks like it. I didn't think they made those any more. No doubt with skid steer on the treads it would be a breeze to turn.

It will turn about its own center (with the tracks moving in opposite directions). The motor is gas only but the drive is 2 24V motors (one for each track) which the the 'hybrid' part. and it is about 500lbs. One can move it out of the garage on electric only and start it outdoors (no fumes) It throws snow at least 50' and is rated to move 90 tons per hour. The drive adjusts to the snow load automatically The auger height is powered (and adjustable on the fly). All very nice but *not* cheap here is a link to the dealer page: http://www.honda.ca/HPower/Models/ModelOverview?L=E&Type=SnowBlowers&Series=HSM1336&Model=HSM1336iC
