| Loftness, no question! Of course, I'm also from MN and Loftness is a MN company -- I'm not sure about their presence in oher parts of the country.
Loftness, on their big heavy duty blowers, uses a 1000 rpm drive with a big reducer to the blower fan. It is important to find a bower with the largest blower fan possible.
When blowing snow, you main concern should be the durability of the blower to stand up to hidden obstacles you might encounter -- such as big rocks, cement, blocks, and other things under the snow. Look for a brand that has adequaqte shear protection and heavy duty blower components and cross augers. If you blow enough snow, you will hit things!
We have a Lorenz, and am not impressed with the thing. It runs the fan at 1000 rpm and takes way too much hp. The fan is so small that it can't get the snow away fast enough. Also, when you hit something bad, parts bend, like fan blades, before the bolts shear. We also have a big blower that was made by a local manufacturing shop that we bought second hand. This thing will handle much abuse and obstacles with minmal damage.
