Off topic of price, please be sure to research maintenance. I've seen at
lesat two snow blowers where the chain had not been oiled. Really set up,
and a lot of work to replace the drive chain. Worth researching how to oil
the various parts, every year.

Drive belts need to be replaced. I know... mine did. Not all drive belt
sellers are the same. One local place sold me a belt that was twisted into a
plastic bag. That promptly threw off the pulley and jammed. Another online
place was both cheaper, but also shipped me flat belt (which I've been using
since then).

Do good work.
It's longer in the short run
but shorter in the long run.

I've never owned a snowblower...I've always shoveled.
But we have a pretty huge driveway now.

The price range for snowblowers is pretty big.
Anyone know how much I need to spend for a durable, reliable machine?
