I live in Oneida County, NY and we got about 12" of snow from the Northeast storm. I has a couple of drifts about 18"high and packed. The storm finally gave me the opportunity to use my new Arens 926. What a machine! I've had snowblowers for the last 35 years and this beats them all. It work as well as I had hoped it would and maybe better. I do have to be careful because it will throw the snow over my front yard and into my neighbors driveway. Never had that problem before.
Anyway, the reason for the post is to thank all of you who write about their experiences. I used your information to decide what make and model to purchase. I think I did the right thing. Thanks!!
