mousy

Well here I am again. I thank each and everyone of you for your time, and oponions, and will certianly take all into consederation. We still have a few weeks to decide on what we will purchase and when we do, I will come back and let you know what we got, and give my review from a woman's point of view from handling and performance. And I will see what my husband has to say also. After purchasing one, I will be anxious for a big snowfall and ready to bring it on, and we will probally have light snowfall all year!! LOL  ( Never know)

Marc,

  I also wanted to say that we learned a prior lesson with buying a john deere tractor from home depot instead of from a john deere dealer.   And the cub cadet has adjustable shoes which is that as imporant as I think it is for a gravel driveway. If we do decide on cub cadet, we will go to a cadet dealer.

 The driveway gravel has been down for at least 3 years or more I would say. We just bought it last spring. The drive does not have any steepness it is flat and straight. It is about 150 feet give or take. Yes it does thaw out occasionally and drains well. We are in Ashtabula co. ohio, the snow belt. The snowblower will be kept in a well insulated garage, room is not a problem for that. I am so confused about snowblowers, that's why were on here asking for help.

Thanks for the welcome. This is the first post I have ever written, and I guess you learn as you go. We are looking to buy a brand new cub cadet snow blower. We have never owned a snow blower and are in our 50's and 60's and looking for something that isn't hard to run. My main concern is : We have a gravel driveway and do not want a blower that is going to chew and throw gravel everywhere. The one were looking at is a 24 inch clearance. 2 stage, has adjustable shoes. Zero turn posi steer, 208cc engine, electric start. It says engine manufacture is Cub Cadet, manufacture # 31BM53TR709 . Price is $799.99  Any help we get we appreciate. Thanks again.. :)

Hi, I am looking at purchasing a 2 stage cub cadet snow blower soon. It's a 208cc 24 inch clearing width.  My husband and I are asking for any information on this machine.  We appreciate your input. Thank you :)
