Snow blower season

[Snagglefoot]

Let’s find the most powerful snowblower you own or saw at your local store. Picture required or it isn”t real. Ho-Ho-Ho.

I'm highly partial to ariens for 2 stage and toro for single stage.

That one you pictured should be 11hp so about 33cc per hp.

I wanted the toro 821 but they went OOS so I snagged a 721 last year for 500~~ something from Ace hardware to replace my 1992? ccr-2450

Or

 

[Snagglefoot]

Yes, the Husky 369 cc engine is only 11 HP.

Canadian Tire price tag on that Husqvarna I believe. What's the price?

I will take a Toro single stage anyday over those big clunky two stage behemoths.

Same, unless there is 12"+. The Toro single stage is soo much faster and works fantastic with the slushy crap we have been getting the past few years. If the snow is taller than the opening though they can be a bit of a pain, and the 2 stage with its taller opening wins. The new Snowmaster which is like a single stage that is as tall as a 2 stage works pretty well, but I'm not sold on their plastic transmission yet.

Mine is a 721R. Very powerful for its size, I haven't been able to bog the engine down yet.

Me too. My sidewalk has a step up from the driveway. I can easily lift the single stage Toro up onto it.

 

[jhellwig]

My 318 with the 48" single stage can lug the engine down more than the mower does.

Does this count?

 

[RazorsEdge]

My 2-stage 56v Ego snow blower.

 

[eljefino]

Ariens 1126. The toro next to it is its backup-backup.

 

[B1974]

My old Craftsman that I bought used years ago. I needed a new carb for the old Tecumseh motor and ended up picking up a Princess Auto Husqvarna replacment motor two years ago for $125. No electric start but it fires up on the first pull even at -25C. New tire chains this year.

I bought this new a couple years ago and barely used it. It's a fuel injected 369cc's engine and has 17 ft lbs of of torque. Its an Ariens and really will throw snow a long way. Works for me anyway.

Husqvarna I bought a few years ago was leaking in the box from the factory, returned it the next day.

 

[GreyBrahms]

I plow most of the drive way since it is gravel with a 570 Polaris and 60” plow, but do also have a 2011 Ariens 24 deluxe with a 249cc Briggs. Never had an issue, so agree with those who are partial to Ariens. Local company to me and Heavy duty build sold me. Only disappointment is they went away from Briggs to LCT and then internal engine. Hopefully last snow blower I ever have to buy.

Here is a little MTD that I recently sold. It was a bit small but eager. The last time I used it I could tell my age. I upgraded to a Troy-Bilt 3090. It has heated handles, power steering, electric start and headlight. Also 30" clearing width. I got it three years ago through HD. It was on sale and I had a $100.00 coupon. Had it shipped to my door for around $1,290.00 I have not had enough snow to really put it through it's paces. I generally just plow with my JD tractor.

 

[walterjay]

Here is the new one.

 

[Blueshound]

Fired my plow guy and picked up this Ariens 28" Deluxe SHO in August, for my 400 foot driveway. I got tired of torn up grass, huge snow banks, and poorly timed plowing. Bought from local dealer. Cool place, they do ccw permit classes at the store on weekends.

Here is the new one.
