Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Snowthrowers, snow throwers, snowthrower

Question
I am not sure if you will be able to help me with this. We need to buy a snowthrower. Can you recommend which is a good brand to buy. We do not want to skimp out at all because we have a 100+ foot driveway and part of it is on a hill. We are in NJ so we get a decent amount of snow in the winter. Sometimes is is only 3 inches but this past storm was almost 3 feet. Although  that doesn't happen often we need to be prepared. Any advice you have would be great. Thank you.

Answer
Hello Jamie:

>>I Suggest you Locate your Nearest Lawn and Garden Service Center and Browse their Snow Throwers.
All the OEM's are Manufacturing the Unit with about the Same Quality and Service Built into All the Snow Throwers.
>>I have no Preference for this Reason. If the Unit has the Features you want and will Handle the Job you are Expecting to Perform with it, then Any OEM (MTD, Toro, Murray, ect) should do well for you.
>>If I had to Choose, then I would Say MTD, JD, or Toro.
>>If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Be Safe and Happy. Thanks.

Good Luck
