Hi Max427, That what I do! When I got my 2 stage I held on to my 4.5 hp 2 stroke single stage . It works great on 4-8 inches . It clears to the bare pavement . I can actually work quicker. ( I have to go aroung cars in the driveway) . the only trouble is the EOD ,that takes a bit to get through. I would say if you have the room and buget for one it sure beats shoveling those small storms.

Hello Max and Welcome! It is a perfect plan if you have a paved drive and can afford the second machine.... The Simp single has a great rep too. C
