It won't be long until we see that....ugh.
I used to repair snowblowers, I've done HUNDREDS of them. My favorite were always the Snowbirds, they were built with more metal guards and shields than an up-armored Humvee, and weighed about 200 lb. Problem with those is that while they'd shoot snow awesomely to the right, the chute would clog when shooting to the left, because of the design of the discharge chute being similar to a conch shell.
I was sold on Ariens Sno Thros for MANY years, because of their ease of serviceability and their absolutely infinite lifespan, but when I got my hands on a trash-picked Craftsman that was falling apart, I was shocked and embarrassed to see that it tossed snow better than anything that I'd ever had. Polypropylene plastic chutes make a ton of sense too, as snow just can't stick to them, even the wet stuff.
So now I have a nice newer Craftsman
