Lowe's-Gilford charges seventy five dollars for local delivery of a snowblower that costs less than one thousand dollars.
To avoid the $75-delivery ..... just go big and buy a super powerful Ariens 28" efi for about $1500 ..... weighing something like 275-lbs ..... and become the local KING of SNOW! ...
Seems that a lot of snowblower buyers are not impressed with the all black plastic discharge chute on low end machines like the $600 Troy Bilt 24". But, by rubbing about one dollars worth of Vaseline on the insides of the black plastic, it makes it extra slippery and keeps it from clogging with wet, heavy snow ..... and makes it a very happy machine.
These super-duper snowblowers with their fancy-dancy discharge chutes controlled by an ergonomic pistol grip handle have too much technology .... the very simple black plastic chutes work very good because they are very simple.
