Single stage Toro vs 2-stage Honda
Original Message   Nov 4, 2012 8:10 pm
So, there not much snow in the midatlantic (VA), but there was the occasional snow storm with more than 2 feet of snow. I'm contemplating a single stage Toro 621 vs a HS928TAS. Big difference in price, I know. I hate to buy the Toro then realize that it's not enough when the snow is piling on. The Honda is just overkill for my area though.

My mistake. 30 degree incline, from my geometry days.

Same difference.  A 30 degree incline is the same as a 30 degree grade or slope. 

I'm assuming you mean 30% grade which is still extremely steep.  Effectively what you saying is that your driveway, rises 60 ft. over a length of 200 ft.   That would be difficult to even walk up. 

To establish your grade, you need to know what the elevation difference is between your garage and the street.  I.e , if your garage floor is 20 ft. higher than the street and your driveway is 200' long, that's a 10% grade.
