For us northern folks ... what's the horsepower of the snow blower you use?
Mine is 5 hp, with a 24" width. Works great on light fluffy stuff, up to about 18" deep. I can do the 300 foot driveway and parking area in less than two hours.
B U T ...
State snow plows clear the highway during the snow storms, and leave little gifts like this, right at the driveway apron:
The massive pile of heavy wet snow left at the end of the driveway is way more than my blower can handle; I have to break off chunks and shovel it into the blower. Last time I tried clearing that area, I got weak, sweaty, shaky, nauseous, heart racing, and had to stagger in and lie down for an hour, then went back to finish the job Not fun.
Neighborhood kids "don't like outdoor work". Guys with plows on their pickups don't do gravel drives like mine.
So what equipment do you guys use to clear that "Mount Everest" you have on the driveway after a big storm has passed?
Thanks.
