23 inches of snow yesterday! Started up my brand new Toro 828. 30 minutes later the auger stopped working when trying to go into 18" of wet snow slowly. The motor didn't stall, the sheer pins didn't break. The gears did. Toro says the dealer will fix it. Not a chance or replacement or upgrade to a 1028.

I'm sorry to hear of this unfortunate situation, but I take it as a good sign that your complaints did not fall on deaf ears. Both your dealer and Toro are doing the right thing to get you a new replacement machine. This demonstrates why a reputable dealer is your best ally in coping with a problem like this. I wouldn't presume to guess what would happen with, say an MTD or something from a big box store but I wouldn't want to find out, either.
