In the fall of 2004, I purchased a snowblower from Bolton Power Equipement . Here's the assembly story for this unit:

The snowblower comes partially assembled. It weighs just over 500 lbs. and was easily lifted out of the van by a boom pole.

Clearing the Lower Drive

The snowblower is just a little wider than the tractor. It clears a path just wide enough to drive through. The gaurd rail on the road is just visible through the trees.

Step 8: Bring on the Snow...

Ongoing maintenance is to re-lube and adjust the idler pulley. The ladder is a standard 6' to give a size reference.

The arc from the chute depends on the wieght of the snow. The heavier the snow, the further it goes. This snow is pretty light, so it doesn't really go that far, about 30'.
