Cleanup with the RapidTrak was fast. Actually could have gone faster,

we got about 7-8 inches of very fine granular snow, not wet at all, but heavy due to density. all the snowblower really did was lift it into the air to be blown by the wind

Mmmmm. That's "I'm a boring middle aged white new england guy" money shot right there. I've come to realize just how sad it is that I see something like that and think "oh yeah.... that's hot".
I'm still rockin my freebie track drive cub cadet 8hp jobbie. But man, that track drive Ariens really rustles my jimmies.

+1 on the middle aged dude wood over a nice snowblower. I'm just about at the point where I'm ready to justify the obscene cost of a new(er), brand name machine.
The wind after that last storm was one of the few times I come to really appreciate the remote control turret end on my home-cheapo machine. Throw the snow sideways and not into the air; less blowing back in my face. But yeah, no matter which way you throw it.
Not sure if I mentioned this earlier. But I was not very good at keeping the skids on my machine adjusted. Machine had started to become a real handful. This fall I put the thing up on my lift and pulled the front end apart to find I'd trashed the scraper bar. It also had half the gravel from my side yard embedded in it and warped the bucket a bit. I've now adjusted the skids and semi-straightened everything. Machine is way, way less of a handful. I arguably have the skids too high now and am no longer scraping down to blacktop. Judging from the trashed scraper bar, maybe that's not such a bad thing.
Moral is don't be that guy; keep your snow blowers skids adjusted.
i think it depends where/how you store them...outside you have a higher chance of having issues with water...having an attached garage that stays warmer than outside i doubt i will ever have issues with water which is why i shut the snowblower down via the fuel shut off...i need the snowblower as well as my generator and chainsaw to work when i need them so i try to take good care of them
heard good things about bg44k...so i picked up some to try out...
Amazon.com: BG 44K Fuel System Cleaner 4 Pack: Automotive
attached garage
4 stroke snow blower - metal tank filled + seafoam...shut down via fuel valve
2 stroke snow blower - plastic tank empty
4 stroke generator - metal tank empty
4 stroke scooter - tank partially full + seafoam
2 stroke chainsaw - plastic tank partially full with trufuel no fuel treatment
shed
2 stroke weed wacker - plastic tank empty
2 stroke leaf blower - plastic tank partially full
4 stroke push lawnmower - plastic tank empty
4 stroke self propelled lawnmower - plastic tank empty
4 stroke riding lawnmower - plastic tank partially filled + seafoam
i had to do the same to mine...tossed a weight kit on it and the composite skid shoes...put the blower in the garage level and stuck a roof shingle under the blade and loosened and dropped the skid shoes to the garage floor and tightened
