Funny news about snowblowers,, I saw the coolest one ever today.

I was on my way to go sledding at this hill and one the way I saw a friend snowblowing about an inch of snow from his driveway. Anyway, I asked him if he wanted to go sledding, and he said he could. Another friend that was with me, the smart ass he is, said we could finish snowblowing for him. Surprisingly, my snowblowing friend said sure. So I go up to his snowblower, which looks brand new, and this thing is amazing. It had abundant power and the snow chute was all completely and easily controlled by levers on the control panel thing. Insted of turning a crank to move the chute left or right, you just pushed a lever left or right. To adjust the angle of snow blowing out of it, you just push a lever up and down. This thing was amazing!!

When I got done I just shut 'er off wanting to leave. The blower has at least 10 hp, and is an electric start.(plug in type) My friend came out from getting a sled or something and just primed it and started it right up with the pullstart and took it inside. It's one thing to start a big engine with a pull start, but when it's below freezing out, its another challenge in itself.

Snowblower was something like this - http://www.toro.com/home/snowthrower...stwostage.html
I have something similar, but It's not nearly as nice and a 3-4 years old.
