1000' of driveway is very long and my husband is not very excited about the walk behind but I read the Polaris ATV unit was disconntinued. We do not have a riding lawnmower yet (new house and have not put the lawn in yet) and was hoping to buy one thing at a time but they may not be our best option.

Thank you for the advice. I had been looking at the Ariens 13HP snowblower with wheels. I did wonder about getting a unit with the tracks instead of wheels but I think ,after reading your post,  a wheeled snowblower with sufficient HP will do the job. I will take a look at the Honda units but I think they are in a class above Ariens so more money.

I have a long (1000'), steep, winding driveway that I need to plow. We get about 4-6' of snow a year. Doesn't sound like a lot but when it is deep and slushy, it is very scary going down the drive even with 4wd. We hire a guy with truck and snowplow but he often does a horrible job when the snow is deep and slushy and he charges $50. each time. We have considered a plow for our own 3/4 ton truck, 800cc ATV or snowblower for ATV or stand alone snowblower and think the last would be best but am a novice to this snow removal job. Any suggestions?
