For about $300, you can buy a Craigslist, used Troy-Bilt 2410 two stage snowblower that is in very good usable condition.

What helps it to keep from clogging with slushy wet snow is to apply Vaseline jelly to the insides of the black vinyl snow chute, on a warm day, like in the summer, so the Vaseline gets absorbed into the black hard vinyl material.

This makes a big difference so the slush does not get stuck and clogged.

In the winter time, spraying everything, augers and chute with Canola fry pan, cooking spray is good, too.

A new Troy-Bilt 2410 now costs $899, as of last winter, and there's always a few 2410 machines on Craigslist for $300.
If it needs a repair beyond your ability, suggest you take it to Lakeport Power Equipment, Laconia ..... in facebook.

So, what is the price for this totally super-duper electric Ego 2 SNT2400 two-stage, super high torque snowblower ..... battery & charger NOT included ..... Amazon price ... new-$1399 ...... yes, $1399 ..... Holy Mackerel! ..... yikes ....$1399 without a battery & charger vs $300-used on Craigslist for a good, usable, gasoline powered Troy-Bilt 2410 with maybe five years working life left in it. ....

With a used $300 Troy-Bilt you will be praying for big deep heavy snow!
