Will do some research and get as good a one as I can. Any recommendations on brands? Is it worth getting the treads over the tires? I saw mention of Ariens so will check them out. Just from looking online I think $3000 is more than enough to get me everything I need in a snow blower.

I started with a Craftsman also, ergonomics made the weight and bulk of it sort of a chore. I went to the Cub Cadet and used that for years. Latest is an Ariens due to the double belt - I have a metal roof and when it unloads it tends to be the heavy wet stuff.
I haven't purchased a new one in about six years, so I the technology has probably changed.
