well, with the wife 7 months pregnant with our twins, "we" decided to invest in a smowblower. So I figured, shit, if I'm getting a snowblower, I'm getting a kick ass snowblower… then I started seeing what that would cost. HOLY MOTHER OF GOD BATMAN! Well I found one I liked, got a good deal, and pulled the trigger. 12.4 hp engine, electric and pull start…. big and bad! The biggest complaint i've read is the pansies who say it doesn't have electric hand warmers... :limp-wrist: http://www.husqvarna.com/us/products/snow-throwers/1830hv/
