Snow Throwers

[huckfin]

I have a JD 317 with a snowblower on, but I,m thinking about getting a 18" or 21" snow thrower for the walks and decks I can't get to. See alot of prices and brands out there , just wondering if anyone has one or used one and could give me a good , bad or ugly on any of them.

I have a 24"--8hp two stage which works great for large areas. I have a small toro single stage which also works well. If i had to buy one for only walks and deck, i would get a 2stroke single stage, non-propelled. Its small size would get into tight places, and without a drive system, you can easily control where and when it goes. They are also light enough that you can pick it up and place it where needed, or carry it up steps. Just my opinion, good luck!
