First big snow of the year here in the Omaha valley and we got rain before turning into snow so we currently have 4 inches of heavy heavy wet snow on the ground. A great test for a new snowblower.
Put in fresh gas I had just bought last week and one pull, two pulls and it's on. I would have used the electric start but there was a 2 foot wall of snow in front of the garage door that inhibited movement too much.
And off we go. The snowblower had no problems moving through the snow and it was throwing it a good 30 feet away from me. The quick stick worked great at first but as snow accumulated it became a bit more stubborn to move around. The personal pace was very easy to adapt to and I found myself moving at the exact pace needed to not tax the snowblower.
The end of the driveways were the real challenge with some snowman sized boulders to blow through. I almost, almost killed it once but just going slow and cutting smaller swaths made the job easier. The snowblower is a dream to maneuver and I had no problem turning, backing up etc. Never once did it even think of clogging even a little bit.
Total time for 100 feet of driveway and probably 200 feet of sidewalk was about 45 minutes.
