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

I'm looking into picking up one of these older Toro single stage snowblowers.  I believe both of these models have the Suzuki 2 stroke engine.  Other than that, I don't know much about them.  Can anyone fill me in on their differences?  Also, what kind of issues are these machines are known for and how to look for signs of problems. 

Man, you guys luck out scoring these cheap CCR's

I think I'll have to be patient to score a good CCR3000 for cheap.  There's a lot of CCR2000, only 1 CCR3000, prices ranging from $300 up to $450!  Geez!  These $400 units are usually sold by fix them up mechanics touting Suzuki engines.  :)  At that price, I'd rather have a brand new Toro 221QR, Suzuki or not.
