Which single stage has the most power
Original Message   Oct 27, 2010 8:36 am
Preface: I've have has a HS520. Due to space contraints, etc - I'm not looking at 2 stage. Single stage for the most part is a perfect fit just short of....living on the right side and the plows only plow to the right so I cam constantly getting plowed in... Throw is fine already on the HS520. I was only curios does the 421/221 or even any current models on the market may have a bit more bite on the EOD/overnight plowed snow...

The elusive Toro Snow Commander is rated at 7hp. So I think this might be the most powerful single stage in terms of hp. 
.5 hp stronger than the 3650. Its also self propelled but I think the some of the smaller toros would provide more power per linear foot.:

The power of the Snow Commander is negated by wider 24" auger, heavier frame, and possibly that third paddle.  It is very big and heavy, almost intimidating to use, literally.

Just a couple of cobwebs but I think I lucked out...
Other than the outer edges being a smigen bent inwards, it came with electric start (not that I would need it) and she wasn't a rustbucket to boot.
It's a fairly easy renewal on this.....and fresh parts are on backorder as they need to be ordered from Honda direct....


I'm tired of typing so here's some pics just to add some pics to the board......
