    This is my new winter toy. It's 26 inches wide and has tracks instead of wheels. There are 2 triggers that you steer it with, one under each handle bar. The hand grips are even heated. You can shift the weight of the unit to make the traction even better. Even if it dosn't snow, it's still doing it's job!

    Wow! That is a fancy machine and no two-ways about it. I think I won't show this topic to my husband, since the snowblower we have is working fine, but it's not as fancy as yours.

    Oh goodness, I hope I never need something that rugged. Though maybe if I had a snow blower, I wouldn't mind snow...

    I'm so very glad that I don't need a toy like that one. I don't wish for one and I definitely won't add it to my Christmas list. It does like very useful though. dooley

    Heated hand grips, that is so cool! Or, warm I guess, not cool. Sounds kind of silly until you are out there in a snowstorm, and then heated grips don't seem silly in the least.
