bluemonster,

There is a guy selling Honda HS55 for $350 and it is a nice 2-stage machine.  If you are near MN, it might be worth the trip.  Heck if you need to borrow my spark plug wrench and you are in the area, you can use my wrench.

Thank you MN_Runner.The two used single stage machines are a huge step up from shoveling.I think they will be enough, hopefully.

MN is still far from WI. I am almost at the border with IL.I remember 2 years ago I was at Minneapolis airport for a layover from Amsterdam.Took a long time to de-ice the old plane. It was cold, snowy,icy just around Christmas.

Just do what I do.  Snowblow half the street so they dare not complain.

Same here.  No complaints yet.  But I do get cookies from time to time, they think I'm Santa Claus.

Those Hmsk80's are noisy beasts.  I have one on a craftsman 8/25 and it was at least 50% louder than the11hp OHV engine on my restored Cub Cadet.
