2B,I had a chuckle when I read about your "snowblowing" experience,been there,done that.My blower is a 9.9 HP two stage,self propelled,Honda on tracks,it's the real deal!I have a looong drive and most of it is hill.But slop snow does exactly what you described.I have to clean out the chute,run it awhile,clean out the chute,.......on and on.I hate that kind of "snow"!
Luckily all we got was rain with this last system.
