How many CC's for a snowblower

Yeah I have an idea of how to do it. Just not as fun as fixing things to go fishing or hunting.

Starting to get tired of fixing things. I did the motor bike, paid someone to do the chainsaw, I still need to do the brakes on my car, but paid someone to do the wives car.

The current snowblower might make it one more season but she is getting long in the tooth,
but my Uncle also says the new big box stores stuff is crap as well .
I'm not exactly easy on equipment.

I have been hand shovelling both my own driveway and my neighbours for the past 5 years.I have never owned a snowblower and consider this a free gym workout. In reality right now in the GTA we are only getting about six big snow falls a year.

Is it worth it to invest $1500.00 in a decent snowblower that sits idle for most of the year and takes up storage space.

I am pretty sure you will repair that unit and save your money for something more essential.

I hate spending Money, but I clear about 2000 sq ft of driveway.

Try 3.5 km. Lol. That’s what I open to get to the camp. Not sure about this year, broke the 7’ Lucknow snowblower. Didn’t bother fixing it. More time to fish.

It will be if you're laid up in the hospital with tubes up your nose. Shovelling snow is one of the riskiest activities when it comes to heart attack.

I think I would buy a plow. :)

I use to shovel my 150' driveway at the old house, but not any more.

That is because there is no way to convert it. The displacement of the engine has no bearing on the power at all, just ask a 350 V8 from 1957 vs a 350 V8 from 2003, identical displacement but no where close to the same power output, the block and head may be similar but the rest of the bits make a difference.

Yes thought about that, just fed up of spending all my time working to get there, last winter when snow blower broke, I would snowmobile in. I had lots of time to fish the rest of season, me likes that better. But it is nice to drive to camp door Friday night after work.

Well Sawbill I just got my Canada pension and have no problem running 10 k a day with my dog. So I think one could reverse what you said because if an individual worked out all our life they probably will not get that heart attack.
