Craftsman 250cc 28" path Two Stage Snow Thrower —
I got the machine when I moved into my home, fearing the contimuation of a miserable winter. The first time I used it was to clear a rarely used driveway that had been snowed in for a couple of weeks with about 10 inches of heavy snow with a moderate crust. Machine started immediately, and in about 10 minutes I had cleared 30 feet of driveway.
After the last snowstorm, I cleared the property in about 45 minutes - 6 inches of very heavy snow, 200 feet of sidewalk, and 80 feet of driveway, including a 2 inch diameter branch that had fallen during the storm. The machine stalled when the branch jammed the auger - I don't know why the shear pin held.
