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...

How much did you get this for? 

Checking out your chassis S/N, it is actually older than mine.  That's in really good condition!

A little bit more than what I had set my limit to, but I paid $300 for the unit.
Add another $225'ish in parts on order...

ahemm, cough cough, thanks or no thanks to someone who got me jonesying for a 621.
I swear, I promise, I'm done scouring craigslist and ebay for any more snowblowers this season.....I promise

You're welcome.  I'm just a catalyst to get things started.  You know who to ask if you want to spend money.  :)   If you're done for this season, there's always next season.  That should be spring.

What was the original asking price?

You got a decent deal for $300, not a steal.  Something in that condition around here, which is rare to find, would easily fetch $400.  Considering the age of your unit, I say it has been living a pampered life.  You did good!

How's that shed coming along?  Did you make extra room for new acquisitions?  Little 'red is just a small hobby, big 'blue is what's going to break the bank.  :)

Just looking at the pictures again more carefully.  Is that auger bent?

That's what I was thinking, looks like it hit something pretty hard.

"If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car, you live in New England."  "If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you live in New England."
