There are 2 main reasons to buy a track snow blower.
1 You have a steep driveway or 2 You have a gravel driveway
Of course, it can be both.
My driveway is pretty steep and somewhat uneven. We used plow truck services before but we soon noticed that the plow wasn’t doing a great job and the snow tended to compress on the plow truck tires creating a slick surface.
When the plow operator started to swear he almost died because his truck kept slipping, I knew it was time to take care of the driveway myself. I started to hand shovel the driveway. A couple inches, no problem. Just scrape enough for the car tires to ride on and it’s done. 3-6 inches? A bit tougher but doable. 6+ inches, too much time, too much effort, too much exhaustion.
So, I bought a corded electric blower. Cost effective, easy to handle. Much better. 6+ inches, quite manageable. Cords are a bit of hassle with the long driveway but it worked.
Then came the bigger storms… 10+ inches became a struggle. These non-propelled single stage electric snow blowers became too hard to push on a long driveway. The steep driveway made the pushing slippery too.
I had to find a better solution.
There aren’t many good ways to clear snow on a steep driveway. A 4×4 ATV with a plow blade might work…. but I didn’t need one just for the winter and didn’t want to have another machine take up space.
The snow blower with tracks seemed to be my best option.
Out of the models out there, Troy-bilt seemed to be the most reasonably priced with a fairly small engine. I’m not really a fan of bigger engines. Unless you need the extra power, a bigger engine means it’s heavier and eats up more gas.
In that sense, the Storm Tracker 2690 XP seemed to check off all the bells and whistles in a snow blower that I needed. I jumped at a Home Depot model in the mid end of winter before the prices went up.
Assembly wasn’t too bad – the chute control rod instructions weren’t that great but I got it right eventually. The engine fired up pretty easily on the first few pulls and everything was good.
