The first year I bought mine I used it twice, so was shaking my head a little it being $500 a pop. But fast forward several years to this Winter when I'm using it... make that needing it, twice a week. The snow just won't stop, and without my best buddy I think I'd be going insane! It's now one of those things similar to my detector, that if it breaks I'm probably buying another the next day.

Here in Jersey I have not really needed to use a snow blower for the past 2 years. We will see what this year holds.

About a year ago I picked up a cheap snow blower in the trash. Took it home, poured fresh gas in it, and it fired right up.

I tried to trade an old Garrett machine I have for a nice snow blower with a guy on CL earlier this year but he flaked out on me and we never did the deal.

One of the worst snow storms I'd ever seen was while in Alabama in 1980..we were stuck in our car for almost an entire day on the bridge over the black warrior river.

That's cause Southerners( myself included) don't know how to drive in it thus it's better to stay in your car!

Where I live, I have a more dual purpose best friend. No snow storm too deep!

Yes, I wish I had one of those! Sure it might wake up the neighbors at 6am sounding like a jet getting ready to take off, but that's not my problem! :)

Iron Patch.... did you find that with your MD? You did an absolutely amazing job of cleaning her up guy. I dug one up here in Tennessee from the 1880's but it ran like ***t. For you which came 1st the chicken or the egg (snowblower or MD)? SUGGESTION: Move south, cash in blower and buy another MD... Brad

My actual snow blower does look like something I dug up! :)

I just did buy another detector, and by the looks of this weekend a 2nd snow blower wouldn't be a bad idea either.
