Of course, the other obvious solution to your conundrum is to hire a plow guy. I've done this for the last 8 years on my 110' drive. I just use the Ariens walk-behind to clean up walks and around the garage. Find out what your neighbors do. I found a local carpenter who puts on a plow in the winter. He charges me $30 every storm, and he has to come back during the same storm, it's another $20. I travel a lot, and there is nothing worse than coming home from a 10 day trip to find 24-30" of ice crusted glacier between the road and your garage.
Maybe do the plow guy for a year, and then decide. Jon >From Maine....(past 2 winters I have not been able to see the wrought iron >lawn furniture on the patio!)
