Used ones sell for a pretty price - what's it cost new ! ?

Is the track-drive a good thing ? turn radius issues ?

I'm considering a blower for next year - I've always just used
a big walk-behind scoop to good effect.

I think they were about 2400 new - I paid $900 for mine 3 years old
with one or 2 seasons of use, The Hydro drive is it's strong point -
and the tracks have a LOT more traction than tires. Turning is an art
- you tip it up on the ends of the tracks and you can turn it on a
dime - or you can attempt to man-handle it flat. The 12 volt electric
start is nice too. The only thing I don't like is how complex it is to
change belts!!! Takes about 3 hours by the time you've done it 2 or 3
tomes compared to about 20 minutes on an old MTD or Canadiana.
Definitely the best blower I have owned or used and worth every penny
I paid for it. Would have likely been worth it at new price too, but
I'm CHEAP!!!! (My last blower was about 35 or 40 years old Noma
Canadiana 528 - I bought it used 15 years old for $300 and sold it for
$350 after a bad blizzard when I was finished with it.)
