:D HAA! They have got to be kidding. For soft, fluffy, pretty snow maybe. NOT for what falls in North Dakota. It takes at least an 8 horse snow blower or a bob cat. Not looking forward to it .

YOU, dear lady, should not even be considering that task...stock up and stay inside!

I guess we could use it when the sand blows across the sidewalk, but I always just use the leaf blower (we don't really have many leaves either). Oh the indignities of life in Florida :P
-
I wouldn't know what to do with it!! ;D

Hmmm when and if we get snow its gone in a matter of a few hours.. Sun bakes it... LOL ... Living in Texas ;) .... Sheila

I have no use for one of those--my neighbor's kid does it for me--Richard aka thumbs ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Living in Kansas, I have the "required" gas powered snow blower altho a small one. I only have three double wide and 3 single wide driveways to plow. One for us and 5 for the various neighbors who have jobs to get to. :)

Here in Iowa we can use that. I think I will buy one for my wife.

That has to be a spoof GB! There's no way it would work. How would you empty the scoop, it would be much heavier than a regular snow shovel and unwieldy with that wheel in the middle. Now if they put a plow on there you or whoever would be dumb enough to push it, could at least push a trail through the snow.
I suspect someone is pulling our collective legs, and his initials are Gray Beard. ;D

Why should Judy not drive a bob cat? I expect it to be a great fun! Consider that Judy!

We only need one of those every 20 years so I may give it a miss as I will be in my 90's by then

I've got egg on my face. Sorry GB I really thought it was a joke. Took a look and they even have a video. I did notice all the users looked like they might be on a football team. I wonder just how long they would be wearing those insulated jackets pushing that thing?
I think PT Barnum was right.

That thing or something similar has been around for several years - thanlfully I never bought one. I can see that it might work ok on the first snow fall of the season, if the accumulation is not more than about 10 in. But what happens with subsequent storms after the snow banks have built to 3 or 4 feet high from previous storms? How can this device pitch the snow up & over?
After clearing my current driveway for the past 40 years, initially with a shovel (three storms a week apart), then with a 7 hp blower; I'll definately stay with a snarling, noisy, gas guzzling machine. And when the snow is wet and heavy I'll be wishing for 10 or 15 hp!
It is a good conversation piece!
