I saw a similar version of that today being used around my area to clear the train station parking lot. It was much smaller and had what appeared to be only one wheel in the rear, sort of like a trike in reverse. It had a sturdy looking canopy rather than all that nice steel to keep the elements off the driver. I'd love to know if it was heated or not, but it did appear to be an affordable option.

Richie I would love that if it could make it to the top of my drive lol...

I was at work late last night then home through the storm and the wife kicks me out of bed at 7 to clear a path for her to get to school and it was 5 degrees and windy and this blast of snow as I was clearing hits me in the face and the wind is blowing and my hands are going numb and then I read your post and you read my mind lol....

I would do the entire block if they let me lol...

I do help out the older couple next door with the big storms, I will clear a path to there woodpile. They are in Arizona on vacation for three weeks visiting family and they have a plower they use but he does not do their walks etc. so I will go over there today or this weekend before they get back and clear around there house. If I don't they ain't gettin to their woodpile for awhile lol....

I don't think ski clothing would do all that much in weather conditions like that, especially with such a huge driveway as yours. One thing it does tell me is just how sturdy a Honda snowblower really is. I'd love to know how many friction discs a normal snowlbower would have gone through compared to your hydro-driven Honda. Add to the fact you help out your neighbors with each and every storm, that is really one hell of a snowblower. As for that fancy snowblower on Ebay, I'd be surprise if it really got stuck all that often. Between the wide tires and the chains, plus the weight of the driver sitting directly over them, it would be interesting to see how well it works on your steep driveway.

For what it is worth, Deere makes BIGGER ones than that. And so does BobCat.

I would love to try it too....

Yes my Honda is as tough as they come. I wish you guys could use it day in and out and see it in action. It IS just like a little tank. I cleared old frozen snowbanks up on the street today as I have to do every season, it is frozen and hard and the machine just burros right in chops it up and spits it out without a blink. Also when I have time the path to the pond (approx 75 yds) a path the the neighbors back door (another 50 yds approx) and then a whole new path back for fun. I don't do this all the time as I just don't have time but when I do the snow is well over 3 ft deep.

It is quite the machine. I would gladly pay more for it today than I did in 01 and not blink an eye. It takes a beating each season and is truely unphased. It runs and performs as well today as it did the day I brought it home....
