In my experience, the biggest issue with stones is them getting jammed in between the second stage impeller and housing on a two-stage machine. Someone posted a pic of a Toro Snowmaster on the first page, and that is a large single stage with rubber paddles, which would work much better if you hit gravel.

Of course I usually only see it when I go for Christmas/NYE, but I always go the hand route.

That is dedication. I at least use a shovel.

So did I until I moved to a place with a ~100 foot driveway and had a ~36" snowfall. I was even young and fit at the time. After I finally dug out I got in the car and bought the first snowblower I could lay hands on.

In general, not good. I had a beast of a snowblower for many years that laughed at the gravel it heaved off my driveway. Then I got a fancy Honda and, while it tosses the gravel further, it decidedly does not like doing so. My gravel is too small to jam the machine but it is a fine size for beating the bejeezus out of the impeller housing.

In my day, we had to shovel uphill, both ways, barefoot, and like I said, by hand. None of this snow blower, shovel, boots/gloves namby-pamby stuff. We didn't have time for no grande half-caff soy latte with a shot of xanax either. |

that's funny because i'm fairly built since I workout and I usually mow without my shirt and the wifey keeps telling me all the wifes' husbands are gonna write a letter to HOA complaining of you! the wifey teases me and says when it's hot outside you're sweating pretty good and from inside the house when I look outside you look like you're glistening
