Hello! Welcome to the worst site on the net!! Funny you show this blower; I just grabbed it’s evil twin from my local town dump (technically called a transfer station).

Most popular blower is the Honda, followed by Ariens and then Stiga and MTD. Most people here in Tromsø prefer their blower on tracks. That‘s because of tiny properties, with no place to pile up the snow. Hence we have to blow the snow twice: First off the driveway, then you’ll have to belt your blower up into the snow pile to below it further away, without throwing it into the neighbours yard…
Me for one have no issues with having my blower on wheels, because I have an other snowblower, by the make of Volvo…
