I am old too

I have an MTD it is 5hp 22" path and has worked very well over the 12 years I have had it.

Look for:

If they still make this not sure the auger blades angled in a little, this helps feed the snow inwards to break it down

The straight edges that protrude up from the auger bay, they help cut the snow that is very deep and drops it into the auger area

I'm looking for a new one for next year
Just a few things I know about, hope this helps

Look for: Electric start NO plastic discharge shoots I don' t care for the cables that control the chutes they don't hold well Serrated edges on the rotating drum helps bust up the ice If they still make this not sure the auger blades angled in a little, this helps feed the snow inwards to break it down The largest HP and path width you can afford Zero turn radius is nice but my friend has it and says it is a PITA The straight edges that protrude up from the auger bay, they help cut the snow that is very deep and drops it into the auger area I'm looking for a new one for next year Just a few things I know about, hope this helps -Slyder
