Yes, if I would be in my 40s or 50s. Being 70+ changes the whole picture...

Oh, YEAH!! Being 75+, and short of breath, makes shoveling my front patio/walkway/driveway an all day job. then I still have to sweep or shovel the back deck!
Walking out to the barn to get the ATV/snowplow to do the rest of the driveway is another chore.
Having a single stage light weight snow thrower for the concrete portions would be great, but I want a gas powered one. There is no readily available outlet for a corded electric, and in the past I have had problems with battery powered tools. Yes, new ones are better, I hear.

From what I understand, up to 6 inches (even wet & heavy) is no problem. So, it's apparently best to do it in stages if there's going to be more than 6 inches.

I'd like more info also. I don't want to spend ~$800 and end up having to do it with a shovel.

I love my EGO leaf blower, the snow blower uses 2 of the 56V batteries, the leaf blower uses 1. They have great customer service also!!
