[AT] Snow Blower

[Larry Goss]

How much snow do you 
get?  And how much accumulates at one time?  Where I live, a rotary 
broom on the front of a tractor is MUCH more practical than a snow 
blower.  It works faster, handles up to 15 inches of snow (with an 
18-inch diameter brush) and doesn't even require chains to make the 
tractor move.  It's no good in an ice storm, but neither is a snow 
blower.  A rotary broom doesn't throw snow everywhere, and you can use 
it in the summer to keep sidewalks and parking lots clean.  I'm thinking
 VERY seriously of investing in a walk-behind unit.  I already have 
access to a 60-inch rotary broom at our church, but it would be 
convenient to have a 24-inch one at home.

The nice thing about a 
rotary broom is that when the brush chokes (gets completely full of 
snow) it just keeps going until the snow moves out of the road. You 
won't freeze your face off while using a rotary broom.  Try one, you'll 
like it.
