I am getting a little off topic here which is not unusual for me. I started this blog entry with the intent to talk about the top rated snow blowers and as far as I am concerned you can't beat the Craftsman 8899. If you Google "Craftsman 8899" you will find a ton of business's and people willing to sell you one for around $1000. The Craftsman 8899 will handle most residential jobs as well as some small commercial ones. Another good top rated snow blower I have heard of although I have no experience with is the Toro 828 LXE although in my opinion it is a little pricey at roughly $1600.
Toro does offer some less glamorous options when it comes to snow removal and might be in the price range of most people especially in these tough economic times. Toro has something they call a "power shovel" that will help you clear a sidewalk or small driveway if the snow is not to heavy. Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025
You still have to do most of the work but with a price tag of around $300 it might just be what most people need.
It's about time to put this post to bed. I do enjoy blogging and hope you find something interesting in what I write. I know there are a number of blogs I follow that I sure do enjoy. I think my next blog entry will be about the owl I hear when ever I take my evening walk. I am pretty sure it is a snow owl but I need to do some checking.
If is's snow you want I hope you are getting your share of it and if you are getting more than your fair share of snow do a google search for "top rated snow blowers" and make your winter snow removal a little less taxing.
