I have an opportunity to pick up an MTD 5/24 Track Drive Snowblower,
for a very resonable price.
Could someone give me their opinion as to whether it is any good.

I have a 8/24 Toro wheel drive, and it is just too much snowblower. I
was looking for something smaller and this fell into my lap. There are
a million MTD snowblowers out there, so they must be OK,,, Just don't
know if the 5 hp motor is enough for a foot or so of snow.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Your 8/24 Toro will handle a foot, or 2 inches of snow. Do you want to trade
a machine too big for a machine too small? I mean, don't you just love
blowing snow onto your neighbors yard?
I'm not impressed with track drive blowers.

Well that was really my question. Is this big enough? A few years we
got hammered, but usually it will be 6-8" maybe 6 times a year.
The Toro is a pain to wrestle around.

If you are willing to settle for less machine than you have now, it
will take longer to move the snow. Only you can decide if a
smaller-easier to use machine is worth it to you. But an MTD-track
drive??...that would not be my first choice. Better to go with a
smaller Toro.
