Hmm, around here, it's mainly because we don't get enough snow to
make buying a blower worthwhile.Â* My neighbour across the road, who
is Swiss, made himself a snow shovel out of a piece of ply and a bit
of 2x2. It works rather nicely

my driveway is about 200 feet long

You'd be pretty fit by the time you finished.

it could snow from october to may ,
i'm way up in the north west part of canada

Don't you think that uk.d-i-y might not be the best place to look for
advice on snow blowers? We almost never have the right sort of snow and
when we do the entire country grinds to a standstill with just 10cm.

Preference here is for a shaped piece of metal on the front of a tractor
to act as a snow plough since that will also shift soggy wet snow.

The problem is an engine. There's plenty of overlap between people that diy & engine repair & restoration. And he's now got the info that muck in the carb is the most common cause. Sounds like a win.
