I live in Michigan. I get about 60" per year and some of the storms are 12" deep at times, I have a 900' driveway all gravel. I bought a 8HP walkbehind snowthrower 2 months ago, I used it twice so far, here are my complaints with all snowblowers. 1. too slow (even tractor mounted ones) 2. any rocks or gravel screw up the blower, on a two stage. 3. they dont scrape like a blade will. I have also have a Polaris 4 wheeler with a blade and a Bolens tractor with a blade. I bought the snow thrower to clear deep drifts, and it works okay for drifts with the skids adjusted up. As for tractor sizes if you are buying new get a tractor with a front bucket so you can pile the snow and plan on spending over $10K, also with a blade you have to push the snow as far back as possible so that there is room to push more snow as the winter season progresses.
