New house on a hill, gravel driveway. My 10hp 2 stage snowblower struggled to clear the sloping part of the driveway and kept catching rocks. I picked up the blade and chains for my 24hp tractor. It was easy to assemble/attach, I probably spent more time just staring at the instructions trying to figure out what they were showing. Those could be more clear.
Once I had it on we got a couple of 5+ inch falls. I probably spend the same amount of time clearing as with the snowblower, but I've got a cleaner drive and it's less effort. Just bundle up, throw on the Ipod and head out. Wish I would have done this sooner.
