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

I read on Hondanews website that Honda released the first hybrid snow blower (HS1336i ) in the US market last week.

Here is the news article:

Very nice, but  also very expensive.

I hope they trickle all that technology down to the 928 and 1332.

It is just out of my reach.Hopefully there will not be a need for that ever.But for people who both need such a machine and can afford it, it is good news. I am sure they will start using the same technology in other 2 stage machines in their lineup soon.Like Toyota Prius being the first hybrid in the manufacturer's product list, later other models started being equipped with the same technology...

OUTSTANDINIG, I cant wait to see one in person. I know the overseas models  had a IGX440 engine. I wonder why they downsized?  There is a guy on u tube running one with a rc controller .
