Honda 1132 Track Driven Snow Thrower

[unclebob100]

I'm seriously looking at buying the HS724ta for next fall. I'm done with my puny Toro electric thrower. It burned out the 2nd time i used it.

[maciver64]

I've used Toro's and seen the neighbours Craftsman and a Husqvarna; the HS55 my family bought back in '87 in Quebec;it died just this year The tracks and the impeller are just part of the story; the way you can angle the whole unit up or down (taking the full bite or less than a full bite make it versatile. Even in hard packed snow/ice or if you wanted to clear the snow off a yard that had been sitting for a couple of months, the Honda laughs at it all at tosses the snow huge distances.

holy shit!!!

[workensmart]

Did you bring yours in to a Honda service center get the recall fixed? There is a problem with the fuel tank leaking on the newer models.

[joek0617]

i really like these snow throwers, but, just about every honda snowblower i've seen sounds like an airplane!

I am a royal snow lover myself here in Moundsville, WV. From what I see from this video, it meets my definition of "nice weather"! Moreover, your video certainly beats watching Jeopardy, or your "money" back! You may want to check out my Blizzard of 1993 video, which is located in my JNozum account.

Like I say all the time, if it doesn't have Honda on it I'm not going to buy it! Nothing beats the quality of Honda Power equipment. I don't care how much it cost, in the long run you save money.

[scrap1005]

another point someone made is the snow isn't wet and heavy, but light and fluffy, dry snow. I can blow snow up in the air like that with any snow blower. I'm not putting the 1132 down, but a better test would be if it were wet snow.

[scrap1005]

I agree, it's very nice. BUT, it's also $3000. I could get a 45 inch craftsman for $1000 less that would clear that driveway faster. Or another way. It would require two people, but for that money I could get two snow throwers of another brand that would clear that driveway faster. Or buy a huge Ariens that could do about the same for less. However the 1132 is nice.

A mechanical blizzard!!!!!!!!!

[airplane154]

Do a video of your HS 55

[Dqalex]

I own a Honda Track drive Snow Blower. I can tell you this Video is 100% TRUE It can send snow down the block if you want it too. Its the best Snow Blower I have ever owned,

[hondacl0n3]

i have a snow blower, but it does not have a name on it. on the OHV plate it says JD. looks close to a Giovanni snow blower. but anyways the design of it is so nice and light. the performance of the engine is great. honda engine are the best...w/e is made in japan is the bomb!!

[FotoPeter]

Hi! I´m from the northern part of Sweden, and we get a lot of snow here. I have personal experience of Gilson, Canadiana, Toro Yanmar and Honda snowblowers. My uncle switched from an 11hp(Briggs&Stratton) Canadiana to an 8,5hp Yanmar. It´s in a division of it´s own! Greater throw, better handling, better performance in wet snow and better fuel-economy. I have had bigger Honda´s, but bought a HS50(track drive) just a couple of days ago. Great things come from the US! Best blowers? From Japan!

[C1TIZENNEWS]

awsome height on that dude!!!!

[driftx2]

i know a guy with a ariens Model 1332DLE pro and a honda HS828.. which is the 8hp version of the honda. He says the 828 is better in heavy snow.

[dirtyredd1979]

I think I just might get one of these for our300'' Keweenaw county Michigan winters

[digitalbigfoot]

it's a shame the money spent on this item is shipped back to another country. Why can't America engineer and build something this good?

[DirtballGearhead]

Stuff like this is made and produced in America, it just isnt as popular of an item as hondas are.

[limitup58]

The USA has been building better snow blowers then the japs long before you were shitting green.Grow up little boy!

[poulcam]

USA made great snowblowers in the sixties, Gilson and Ariens. Now they do not!

[limitup58]

Toro is one of the most popular snowblowers sold. And it is made in Windom, Minn.

[scrap1005]

limitup58's comment was spammed down and it was true. USA did build better snow blowers and still make great ones. Who would spam that down? Is it that only Japanese people show up here? Ariens, a leading company, created some of the first snow throwers and is NOT a Japanese company but an American, Wisconsin one. In fact Arien's is a majorly sought after brand. There are other reasons why things have changed. Lose the attitude people.

[natbienvenue310]

We can build it better. Then over pay to build it (unions), pay state tax board because you are polluting, then pay the EPA to certify it. then pay UL to tell you it works, then pay off the feds because you need permission to build anything, Then buy insurance from when someone mows down a dog and blames it on the blower, then add some "carbon" offset surcharges, then pay workers comp. By the time you are done paying off everyone is it a wonder we are at a competitive disadvantage worldwide?

[jack9102]

@natbienvenue310 the hell does it relate to this video? goto a blog site if it matters that much

[brucerdavidson]

OK!!! Y'all are having too much fun during the worst time of the year. Until my religious order moved me to Chicago to further my studies I had only seen snow twice in my life (I am 52) and I can tell you that was 2 times too many. So if you don't mind any more snow that we receive in Chicago I will gladly send you way! What do you say?

[limitup58]

All I can say to you brucedavidson is don't eat yellow snow!

[garrett6699]

wow! how many horsepower is that thing!

[mitchkramez]

I love these machines, i live in a downtown region and have a relatively small driveway, so I opted for hs724T, still, i can understand why this guy is laughing! mine puts my neighbors 10.5HP MTD to shame, not to mention mine looks like it's brand new still!! These hondas really hold up!

[Philscbx]

I used the first half track that came to our Honda dealer in late 79. Nothing still out chews them.

With HP the same across the board, these will win everytime.

[kirktitan]

Honda blowers are the best!!!! all my friends said that i'm a retard for buying one, now they say they are the retards for not buying one lol!!!

[assmunch1]

Which one did you get?

[assmunch1]

I know it well, I bought the HS1132 last year.

[stillrob420]

my neighbor would shit if i started throwing 40 feet high snow on his house lol

[jlbuick]

you can see my video , i have honda 1132 .

search on youtube : pintendre souffleuse 1132 and you see 3 video of my honda...

[assmunch1]

I have the same snowblower...it is an amazing machine indeed. I am glad to see that someone else has as much fun with theirs as I do. My brother was so impressed, he bought one too. The rest of the people around here have had enough winter, with 140+ inches so far, but I want MORE! :)

[t78a]

140 plus, wow. Where u from? 12 feet of snow!! so far!!

[assmunch1]

Northern New Hampshire. That was last season. The closest official station put it at 147.6" for last season, but it was more than that here. Still about 20 inches shy of the record '68-'69 season that I remember well. So far this year, we are ahead of last year at this time and we have already had 58 inches of snow, nearly all of it before winter officially got started!

[alterman156]

The is quite a powerful snowblower. I bet that 2 feet of snow wouldbn't faze it.

[blwettstein]

holy shit,that getten er done!!

[cooleb]

Ariens Model 1332LE

[carbiz54]

You have to own one to see why he is laughing

[3vw]

You can say that again... It's that good IMO.

[cooleb]

Ariens Model 1332LE

[phatsmitty]

@carbiz54

Agreed .... I own the baby one (HS624) and my neighbors just stop, jawdrop, and stare when I blow snow. "How the hell can that little thing blow THAT much snow THAT FAR??"

<c:

[cooleb]

omg, it beats by 13hp snowblower

[3vw]

What make and model is yours?

[woodman1241]

nice thrower. That honda engine'll last u quite a while too

[3vw]

I actually still have my original Honda (5hp) HS 55 track drive snow thrower that I bought back in 1986. It still runs fine but is only a 22 width. I've been wanting the HS 1132 for years now but our lack of snowfalls didn't warrant the purchase.

But, I broke down and bought one this year and I couldn't have struck it better when it comes to snow here in Wisconsin. (we've had enough!)
