Why not hire a local kid or service to do the job instead of investing in new machinery? Or ask your daughter if she's going to continue living with you?
My son is in Michigan on an internship and his landlord pays to keep his walkway clear. Considering his rent--I can't imagine the service is even remotely expensive.

I can see the conflict with WC, LTD, SS...Of course, my attempt at strenuous activity failed. I won't be attempting that again, or anything similar.
Not sure how long my daughter will be staying once her BF leaves. I'm guessing she won't be here next winter though. However, at this moment I am listening to them bicker/argue about the projects they are working on. So maybe there's hope for her yet 
Definitely looking at hiring someone next winter. My oldest actually mentioned maybe buying a rider. Actually a good idea since I have a decent sized yard as well. Affording that would be where the issue comes in.
