I always liked my thrower, I live in the snow belt off lake Erie and it worked well, the only thing I did not like is that you are not able to scrape down the end of the driveway. The loader works great for that.
MMZULLO : "By the way I use my 149/loader and pile the snow up after the storm as long as it doesn't ice up."
When it ices up is when you have the most fun with a loader! See what happens when your board.
