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

Have been shopping for a snowblower to do our 400ft gravel driveway. We usually get snow only 2 or 3 times a year, but tired of dealing with shovel, icy snow leftovers, etc. Local dealer offers a Husquvarna 14527SB-LS for 1530$, regular 1799$. Is this an ok deal? I figure I can handle this machine although I'm a woman of about 125lb. Any thoughts?

I've seen them for $1,399.99.  I don't think that the 14527SB-LS is in Husky's current catalog so it may be last years model.  Should be easy to handle as I believe it has dual trigger for steering.  Never used one myself so I cant speak to how well they're made or how they perform.
