Hi everyone,
I'm currently shopping for a snow thrower and could get a really good deal on a MTD Gold with the following specs:
* 11HP 318cc Tecumseh OHV engine: Quieter running, better fuel economy, cleaner burning.
* 28” Clearing Width
* Electric & manual start: No need to pull. Manual back-up.
* 6 Forward, 2 Reverse Speeds: operate the snow blower to match the conditions.
* Single Hand Controls: leave one hand free to operate chute
* Remote Chute Tilt & Crank - both aim snow in the desired direction
* In-Dash Yardlight: improves low visibility
* Tool-less Drift Cutters Included
* Space Saving, Folding Handles
* 12” Impeller
* X-treme 12” Augers: serrated edges penetrate through snow chopping it up for faster removal.
* 16.5” x 4.8” X-trac Tires: heavy duty treads provide maximum traction.
* New Poly Slide Shoes: to help prevent driveway marks and scratches.
* Arctic Tested High-Impact 6” Polymer Chute: won't rust, dent or crack!
* Embossed Side Panels: provide added strength
* Durable Automotive Style Powder Coated Paint
* Assembles in minutes
* Oil pre-filled in engine
* 2 Year Limited Warranty
What's good, what's bad? I know quality isn't the same as an Ariens, Honda or Simplicity, but as I wrote at this price it's a hard decision. It's less than 4 months old and the guy is asking 500$ CAD. Here in Canada, a similar Ariens costs 1500$.
