I have the Honda Hybrid, with tracks, an articulating front end, electric start. Previously, I had the top end Toro. The Toro is a toy compared to the Honda. I have had it for 3 years, it is a breeze to operate. Everything is powered. It never slips. Does not get stuck. A petite woman should have no problems.
It easily clears 8 inch snow falls and more. It breaks through drifts with aplomb. I have zero regrets, although the Ventrac diesel is quite impressive.
