What are your recommendations to handle this large driveway?
I recently moved to New England and purchased a house with a 700' long 14' wide teardrop-loop driveway. It is paved, just missing the top cover. If a big storm hits I would only immediately need to clear out in front of the garage and a single path down to the street. I would prefer electric (Ryobi) because I already have several battery packs and it's nice not to have to deal with gas and gas storage. I am no stranger to snow (Utah), but never had a snow plow and definitely never a driveway of this size. I would like to 'one and done' purchase this blower (yes I know I will need maintenance), so while cost is not a major concern I'd like to keep it around $3-3500.
Thoughts or experiences? If you recommend a plow (which the older owner did) I would like to, but I don't have a vehicle capable of that, and it seems overkill for those smaller storms only dropping a foot?
Thanks for any input
