Help me find a snowblower


Casper

Recommended Posts

I want a snowblower, but nobody around has any left. Go figure. If any of you know of a decent one for sale somewhere, let me know. I'm hoping to get a 2 stage, 5HP+, 22"+, etc in decent shape. I'm willing to buy a new one if anyone knows of anywhere with them in stock. Used works too. Whatever. Thanks.

LOL, wasn't it ~1 month ago you were saying you didn't find the need and a good ol' fashioned shovel was the only way to go?

If I see any up here for a good deal I'll let you know ;)

If I said that, I was being a smartass. I've been trying to decide between a snowblower or a quad with a plow since last winter. I hate shoveling.

I'll check with my grandpa to see if he wants to get rid of his. Its 20+ years old but it worked well last winter when I used it a few times. We got him a plow service since I am much busier with work and other things

they are MTD yard machines and I think the one I was walking past was the single stage for $250 or so

Something like that would be perfect. I'll call them tomorrow. Cincinnati is a bit of a drive, but might be worth it.

The old man has had his Yard Man for 12 years or something. That thing is a tank. He will cut through the shit that the city won't even touch. can't really tell ya what model, or if they make a machine like it today though.

Might I suggest trying to find one of those.

5 hp dual stage snow blowers are garbage unless they have multiple forward gears. You're better off with one of the nicer single stage blowers like Toro or Honda.

With only 5 hp on a dual stage, you'll need to gear down to the lowest forward gear in anything over 6" of snow or it will bog down.

we dont get enough snow in columbus to justify a snowblower. unless you live in the cut and your driveway is half a mile long or something.

tuck in your string and start shoveling like a real man.
