[quote=Anonymous]I have a snowblower (8hp 27", so a modest beast) I blow out around 8 of our neighbors; driveways. I wouldn't lend it out. For many reasons. They are finicky and can get bogged down with too wet of snow and you can scorch the drive belts easily if you overload it. If you walk too fast you can overload the auger. Rocks can get wedged in the auger and you have to get them out carefully. Managing the discharge chute is a continuous process so you don't throw snow onto cars, windows, kids, etc.I've got 50 years of experience doing that. Most important, the snow at 9am Sunday was something the snowblower could handle. The snow with 4" of sleet mixed in was not blowable. So they missed the window of using the snowblower anyway.
