I moved to a new house, top of a hill, with farm land across from my driveway.
This is our second winter, and my MTD is not up to the task of clearing the packed snow that blows into my yard, sometimes daily.
I have been looking for a couple weeks, and had made up my mind to get the Honda. I had been to the Yamaha dealer previously, but they were not willing to deal.
Well today a new twist, I went back to Yamaha, and was offered the YS928J for the same price as the HS928TC.
Specs are very similar, with some different features. The Honda has full Joystick control on the chute, and is 100 lbs lighter.
The Yamaha has plastic coated chute, manual up/down. Has no shear pins, which may be a bonus, if the 'Shock Protection' works correctly. Also the Yamaha is quiter.
I have been reviewing this site, however, there is limited information on the Yamahas, likely because they just came back to Canada in 2009 (15 year Hiatus) and I am not sure if they are available in the U.S.
Has anyone out there used these models? Can you offer an Opinion?
