I want to thank everyone for theie help in helping me decide in the Toro 826OXE, I almost went for the 828 but with storage space being an issue I opted for its smaller brother the 826. IMO (even thou I havent used it yet) it feels and looks better built then then the competition. I had them head to head with Simplicity and even with more expensive simplicity models on display they recommended the Toro. The dealer was pretty crowded with people but I still felt "taken care" of. Opposite of what I felt @ the 3 Ariens dealers. So overall im happy, I will give a full review after I use this thing.
Can anyone tell me how much oil this engine holds? Do they burn oil regularly? I know my neighbors less then 3 year old tecumseh (craftsman) burns oil........
Any negative effect leaving the blower outside for the winter? I plan on building a 4" high wood platform (or pallet) to keep it off the ground and will be under a toro cover. Anything else I can do to preserve it until I can build another shed?
