I'm looking to speed up my efforts at clearing the pond. Right now I have a 4' wide snow blower for the big stuff. But cleaning up after that with a standard 2' wide shovel takes way too long. Any thoughts on who makes the best and widest shovel for clearing the ice?

buy another shovel like the one you have and rig them up side by side. sometimes you can find 3-4ft wide shovels online too. i found one at a garage sale a few years ago.

Manplow shovels are expensive...but they are AMAZING! they use them at the Pond Hockey Classic in Meredith and 2 people can easily clean one of those rinks in about 5 min on skates. They scrape down to the ice well...I am going to buy one next year! http://www.manplow.com

Any thoughts on the SnowPusher Lite? www.snowpusherlite.com. I think it might be too "lite". The ManPlow appears to be a bit more rugged, but only 36" wide.

Thanks Joe. One can never have too many weapons when combating mother nature. Perhaps 1 this year and 1 next year (so the wife won't notice).....
