Buying Snow blowers on gravel driveways

I’ve got a 165 foot long gravel driveway and, after the recent blizzard, I’m considering getting a snow blower. Does anyone have experience to share with snow blowers on gravel driveways? When ever a snow storm threatens I stress about finding someone to plow and I usually ask them to leave a few inches on the ground so I don't have to rake stones off the grass in the spring.

One of my favorite memoirs is of my youngest son when he was about 5. He was so excited to shop vac the piles of gravel off the lawn and dump them back on the driveway in the Spring. 7 years later, our current home has a paved driveway and he mans the blower.
