Howdy again folks.

Looks like I am going to purchase a snow blower pretty soon. I am
thinking of doing it now because I am afraid that prices will go up
when the snow starts. It's likely I won't even need it here in
Southern Michigan until late December or even in January.

The two manufacturers I have notices so far are the Poulands they sell
at the Farm, Home and Family store and the Troy-Bilt at Lowes. The
prices on both seem pretty close and I will make sure to double check
but they all seemed to be similarly powered and sturdy build.

The ones I am looking at are the 24" to 28" that would cost between
about $600 to $900.

My driveway is about 50' long and we really only get a few serious
snow storms a year. I can't even remember when I last ditched my
tennis shoes for a pair of boots unless I was going out into the woods
in the winter. But when we do get a good snow storm it is too much for
me to try to shovel.

Anyway, if any of you have anything good or bad to say about those two
manufacturers, or recommend others, please do so.

Thanks, David
