TORO 8260XE vs. 8280XE vs. 1028OXE
Original Message   Dec 16, 2010 9:25 pm
So I decided im going with a Toro but not sure what model to go with. I like the 8260XE but then I seen the 828, are there any notable differances except the width? And then how about the 828 vs the 1028 just the motor??

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

I'm thinking maybe the purchases of two snowblowers in one year may have jinxed it.  Maybe you should look into buying a pair of summer tires.  :)

Hey, how about some new videos this winter?  You should be getting some decent snow there. 

The Chicagoland area has been teased with overjealous news weatherman posting winter advisory and warning every week.  After all said and done, we just get one or two inches of wimpy snow that's barely fun with a single stage snowblower.  I got a 11 horse monster sitting on a dolly waiting for some serious snow action.


I'd be happy to oblige once we get more than a flurry. We did get a light dusting a few days back but the sun came out and it went away. We aren't even predicted to get any snow for some time. You have to go 2-3 hours north of me to get any snow and even then they are making it for the ski areas. To paraphrase a song "All revved up with no snow to blow"

I will be posting more vids and measuring distance throws EOD vs driveway etc... But I've gotta have some white gold before I can throw it. Hopefully it will snow so we can get some warmer weather.

"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."
