Last year I used the backhoe to clear the drive, that was totally overkill, so this year I want to get a snowthrower.

As far as I can tell, there's only a few companies making yard power equipment, they slap different paint and brand names on MTD, Huskee, Yardman, CubCadet, TroyBuilt and so on, but there's very few makers.

So that said...the Cub Cadet Snow Throwers look OK...electric start, seems to be well constructed...

Does $1,000 get me a good product in the Snow Thrower market?
