Just wondering how much parking lot area is too much? I own a Honda 1132 and I am wondering if it will be enough machine to clear my 7500 square foot parking lot. We have paid for plowing in the past but I am wondering if anyone else uses a walk behind snow thrower to clear this kind of space? I use the Honda on my gravel 300 foot driveway and I love it! It's a great machine and for the first time in years I am looking forward to snow! Just wondering if clearing the lot at work is a realistic goal. Thanks, Rifboy

I think there a 2 inch extension kit that you can buy online.  Can't remember where though.

I would not hack into the handlebars though.  That is designed to be strong as one piece.  Plus, you can only add two inches of height before you run out of cable lengths.  If you ever want to resell it, it might put off would be buyers.

I think the benefit is minimal for the troubles and risks.
