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

I am curently using a 32" wide snowblower with a 337cc engine, never felt it lacked power.  We rarely get more than 12" of snow at a time.  Once or twice a year, there are 20-24" blizzards, which is kind of fun since I get to bail out 3 of my neighbors EOD 30" high concrete mix and about 200 feet of sidewalks.  Last year, I had neighbors standing around holding their shovels while watching the snow fly from the chute like a fire hose.  Got thumbs up and cookies the next several days.  Priceless.

I was looking at the Pro 28 a week ago and was tempted by that massive 420cc engine.  Wow!  Talk about putting a hot knife through butter.  Not that I really need another snowblower like Steve_Cebu does,   just Jonesing.  If I can get the blue painted bucket at that orange bucket price, there will be no hesitation.

I need another snowblower, but only if I win one in a raffle. That way my wife could do half the drieveway although with her new job the only time she will have is on the weekend and not every weekend.

The only snowblower I would consider over the Toro at this moment is a Yamaha with tracks and a key start. The cool factor alone would be amazing. Paying $5K for one isn't in the budget, but for free, absolutely!

I really depends on where you live....I lived in an area that only received moderate snow falls I would buy the widest unit that I can fit in my garage. But since we have been getting 20-26" blizzards the last 3 years I would never go more then 26-28" wide. Any wider then that you simply cannot cut through EOD mountains left by DSNY!

I too was looking at the Pro 28 but I need to sell my Toro before spending another 2k!
