Hi All. I am going to buy a snow blower soon and need some advice. My driveway is between 20% to 30% grade for about 150 feet.. I am concerded that a wheel drive snow blower will not be able to get up a drive that steep with snow on the drive. At what angle of incline does a trak drive blower need to be considered? What is the primary puopose of trak drive?. Thanks! Doug D Thanks everybody for the input. Doug D
