I have a 1995 Troy-Bilt GTX 16 with a snow thrower. I live in Ohio and use this machine to move snow only...I don't use it for mowing, although I have the deck. It is a beast, in excellent condition, and has been in the family since new. It is pretty big to get out and move snow with and takes up quite a bit of storage room in the shed. Great for the every five year blizzard but a hulk in 2" of snow. Been toying with the idea of gifting it to my niece and her husband who just bought a place out in the country. Would probably get a walk behind two stage Honda. Am I nuts to get rid of this? Has any one downsized and was happy they did? Opinions welcome.
