Keep in mind that for storing a lawn tractor you will need lots of space. Also, safety first! Do not forget that using the lawn tractor you will need a pair of warm gloves, which adds around 20$ to the snow removal cost. Hiring a snow removal specialist is also an option. People who offer such service do know what to do with all that snow, so be sure – heaps of snow will no longer be your problem!
