one winter we got 5feet of snow that summer befor i picked up one of these from a yard sale $10 it's was graight into the middle of feb into it quit but all the snow we had we aboused this thing well but i will not complane the 3 months we had it but cant get or find parts for it anny more so it was said to see it junked
@cap10323 I don't have the manual since I got it used...but a half inch wouldn't even be worth clearing LOL
I've found this unit actually seems to work better with 6+ inches than with 1 or 2. I think the snow in this vid was around 9" or 10". probably the most I ever did was 2-feet...
It does look very easy to operate to, we have a large gas Sears Craftsman snow blower and its quite difficult to maneuver sometimes especially in snow that deep (we actually have to put chains on ours to get the tires to dig in), yours looks like its just gliding along effortlessly. It also has that sweet 1980's styling! - Nice!
@VICNASTY1989 I've seen chains on the tires of gas snowblowers plenty of times LOL
This one is indeed very easy to operate & lightweight/easy to move around...I don't know how well it'd do with deep snow (like over 1-foot) but thats not too common here anyway.
I wouldn't be surprised if its late 80's ... i've been meaning to see if there's a mfr date on it :)
@BowlingMania14 Thanks & LOL the cord can be a bit of a pain.... this one thing you probably would not want to use one of those white ext cords for LOL
@XmasLightsGuy True LOL, we have a gas powered snowblower here, since we get snow on a regular basis in the winter months. And about the white cord, that could get lost easily LOL, you could easily "grind" it while plowing snow.. bzzt, there goes the wire ;)
@XmasLightsGuy Stay away from the green cords in the summer out on the grass LOL
I've cut a wire with live power in it with the hedge trimmer. Even though it's only 120v, it makes a loud pop and a pretty bright spark LOL
I haven't noticed too much electric utilities sold around here.. (Maybe it must be a certain part of the country they're sold more in) but I used to mow grass for an older lady, she had an electric lawn mower. They're easier to start than gas ones LOL
It's better to get a blow job!

@XmasLightsGuy yea these blowers are like the smaller equivalent of the toro s-200 series, small but unbelievably powerful!

Seems to get the job done! How old is that thing?
VICNASTY1989 1 year ago
@VICNASTY1989 Yeah for its size & being electric it works quite well :) Not sure on the age since it came from a garage sale.

Nice unit. The only thing that would bug me if I had one of those is the extension cord being in the snow..
(electricity and water, not too pretty) LOL

@BowlingMania14 Yep...LOL it'd be kinda like using a green cord for mowing the lawn in summer.
most snowblowers i see here are gas as well..but I have occasionally seen the electric ones in stores.
