Re: you all are scaring me about snowblowers

As with Lint, I keep up with the snow, so I am usually doing 4-6 inches because I like snow, and being in it. My 3650 handles that very well (aka- no trouble at all). I do 12" EOD pretty well too. Standard 12" depth isn't any problem, and an incline of 1-3/4" per foot isn't any trouble. My driveway is 2200 square feet. The portability of the machine is great. Lower maintenance is also good. My trimmer uses 50:1 oil, as does my 3650, so "mixing" isn't a problem, I always have it on hand anyway. (The labor involved with mixing 1 gallon of gas is far less than replacing augers and gear housings) My .02 |

A guy explained how he did it on another forum. I know his had an AC voltage coming from his engine. He also got a light at one of the box stores (I believe). I do remember that it was a 12 volt AC light that he used. The job turned out looking real nice; you can't even tell it was aftermarket. I don't know if it is possible on a Craftsman or not. Walt |

Re: Toro 2450 vs Toro 3650

I haven't used the 2450, although I have a 3650 and love it. I personaly like the chute crank. I have also heard of 1 persons sticking, althoughh nobody elses. I wanted the extra power, although never using a 2450, I don't know if I needed it. They are both great machines. I posted a review on mine on another site. Good luck with whatever you decide. Toro does make great blowers. Walt |

I have a 3650 and love it. I got the electric start but haven't used it, so for the extra 100 bucks you probably don't need it. It goes up an incline of 1-3/4 inches per foot without a problem. My driveway is about 2200 square feet. It can do a 12 inch snow, bogs a little if real wet, but I like being "out there" during a nice snow, and it can clear 6" in about 10-15 minutes. I would definately check to see where you can get your blower serviced locally, regardless of the brand you choose. Dealers by me charge the same as the "big boxes", so I would support them, as they will fix it when it needs it; whereas the boxes won't. I hope this helps. |
