Default tree chipper

Rick,
You could always use it as a tree chipper down there,just stay a safe distance back when you throw the branches in the auger!!Better yet just drive into the tree and let the auger work at it!That snowblower is too small for our Manitoba snowdrifts which is probably why he is selling it.Good for sidewalks though.
Derk.

HAHAHAHAAH we could use it here in North Tyneside (england) help clear the roads of those pesky boy racers flying about :-) other than paint she looks great ! as previously stated, most council fleet vehicles tend to be well serviced. a potential bargain for someone

Derk,
You obviously haven't seen our Mountain Ash eucalyptus trees, they will leave your trees for dead. Mountain Ash is a hardwood not soft pine. (Eucalyptus regnans, the tallest of all flowering plants).

I found this to back up my thoughts.
www.treecanada.ca
All trees in Canada can be distinguished as being a conifer or deciduous tree. Conifers are often called evergreens or needle-leaved trees (although there always exceptions). Conifers are also known as softwoods. Deciduous trees are often called broadleaf trees because most shed their leaves in autumn. Deciduous trees are also known as hardwoods.

Maybe we could turn it into a vacuum cleaner and suck up the dust instead.

Still it looks like a good one to get.
Regards Rick
