Anyone have any comments on this model for my needs? It's a 5HP, two-stage,
4 cycle Tecumseh engine. The downside is that it only has one forward gear
and a 22" clearing path. I have one being held for me for $500.

I live in NJ and snowfall is normally not extreme. I'll be clearing an 80' x
10' driveway, a 40' x 10' walkway, and 35' x 25' patio, and a 100' x 3'
sidewalk. All relatively flat land except the drive has a very slight uphill
grade.

Is there another manufacturer/model that I should consider before making
this purchase?
