Buying Advice stand-alone vs. tractor mounted snowthrower

[SeniorCitizen]

I've come to the same conclusion regarding snow removal. Luckily the back yard slopes down gently to the river so I don't think grass will present the same complications.
(Or I could just hang out west of Tulsa for the winter.....

You really don't want to hang out here except March - April and again October - November. :biggrin:

We could use some more fine people here but I recommend keep truckin to the gulf and just swing by for a visit each way in your travels. I'll grill an Angus steak but not in July. :laughing:

This thermometer was recording temps. in Feb. and July.

WOW! That is a big temperature difference! I think I am fine living here, I like to be able to walk outside in the summer without frying in 10 seconds! :laughing: It can get hot here, too, though. The heat index on hot days can be 110, but usually the actual temperature stays below 100.

Greetings, I'm brand new at yard stuff, having lived in an apartment for the last 30 years, so I need some advice.
Is it better to get a mower for the yard and a snow thrower for the driveway, or a tractor with an attachment that will do both? I was looking at a Husqvarna. The yard in the new house is a round a half-acre and the driveway is appx. 70 ft. long with a one-story grade.
Any advice is appreciated!

If your going to go the separate snowthrower route, I recommend you consider checking out Sams Club. Was in there last Sunday and they had a 6hp Poulan, really nice machine, large engine, 24" width, 23" high opening, 12" auger & remote controlled chute (left right/up down) for $600. Great price imo.

Wish mine was older so I could afford to sell mine and buy it. (Wife was along, walked by me from behind, and just said "dream on buddy, your is only a couple of years old" and kept on walking.

6-24 Poulan, $600, less than six years in this part of the country. You get what you pay for!!? Plus, who's going to service it?
