Greg, I will throw in my two cents worth, although with today's exchange 
rate it might be less than that in U.S. cents.
The snow blower is the best thing on driveways. And probably around the 
yard too as long as you have room to throw
the snow without taking out a window. McKee is only six feet wide which 
is barely as wide as the Cockshutt 40. It works ok
and the only time I wish it was wider is when I try widening the path on 
the driveway and end up slipping into the ditch
with the tractor since the wheels are right out at the edge of the blower.
I think it was around the $700 mark new in 1975 so I guess it does not 
owe me anything after 40+ winters snow blowing.
With climate change I might never need to replace it. We still don't 
have enough snow to use a snow blower. That is
most unusual for Sask. in January.
