Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

This is my first blower. I cant decide on the Toro 221qr or the Honda HS520A.      Pros of 4 stroke?   Cons?   I am going to go in on halves with my neighbor (no need for two machines) and we need a good reliable blower that will last years and blow some Utah snow. 8 to 10 inches sometimes. Can anyone help make up my mind?    I know the honda has a bigger engine and the prices are about the same in fact the honda is cheaper.  The toro says the it will throw about 30 feet and the honda is a little less. probably the higher reving 2 stroke.  They also have about the same weight.  The quick shoot thing looks pretty cool until it breaks!!!
