Here is my fleet: Honda HS520AS, 2005 model Honda HS1132TAS, 2009 model Honda HS621A, 1999 model Toro 421QE, 2011 modelOut of these 4 machines, the Toro 421QE is my personal favorite. It's perfect. Well balanced handling, convenient Quick Shoot, good throwing distance, and the engine has serious grunt and power to deal with slush and EOD piles.

I am ready have them lined up and ready to rock and roll! The orange one is an Ariens .I think I bought this way back in 1990. 31/2 HORSEPOWER 2 stage .Best part is it still works! Had to thin out my heard.I 'm down to just 3 snowblowers now. Havent used th Ariens in about 2 years since I bought the Honda and Snapper, but I'm going to use it tomorrow... All I ever did to the Ariens was change the belts and scraper bar. Also cleaned the carb a few times.So I guess I got my moneys worth out of it.It handled all of the blizzards we had back in 1996 .I think we had one a week there for a few weeks in a row. I was to busy working a ton of hours back then to take the time to buy a new toy.

I saw one of those on craigslist several weeks ago. Interesting and unique but it seems weak in power for a 2 stage.
Thats the kicker ,it always got the job done.Just 3 /12 horse power.
That little thing kicks butt. Loud as all He** Of course you can't cpmpare it to todays machine,but man it works. I think I have it 20 years.

I think I have it 20 years. It seems well built. It got me kinda interested for the use of composite material and mixing of 2 stage in a single stage package. Almost picked one up just for grins. But I decided not to until I have a organized way of keeping more than 3 snowblowers. Unfortunately, our neighborhood doesn't allow detached outdoor storage or sheds.

I think I have it 20 years. I had one called the Arien's METRO. I think it was 4 hp. Could never get it to work right so I'm glad to hear that yours is effective.
