What PLANET are you on? Read the owners manual before buying, I am not "professor ANAL and smart BY A HALF" It is a snowblower. I am very mechanically inclined, I had a business for some time as an Audi mechanic/owner. I can wire and plumb a house in code, so BUYING a snowblower without reading the owners manual seems ok to ME. Yes, it was a surprised that the Honda engineers could be so inept in their transmission design. Common design logic would dictate that you would not want to ADD a step to your hands while powering a snowblower. Common design logic would also dictate to use a bleeder valve to NOT to produce an instant on scenario that would be hard on the trans. How common 2-stage snowblowers work is time tested, adding another step that gives you operational LESS CONTROL and calling it BETTER is ASININE. Who cares if it is a Honda or an Apple computer with great design thought instilled into their products. A Lexus with a CV style transmission that you would always have to have one hand on to advance your speed from the center console, INSTEAD of the foot pedal is a bad design even though it is a Lexus. And being a fanboy defending a illogical design flaw seems DUMB to me. No need to get pissed at me, it is just my opinion, and I disagree with others that this IS a design flaw. Like I said I will get use to it. Yamaha doesn't sell in the USA and Yamaha only makes track drive now. I don't like track drives. So Honda is the next choice even if it is flawed. YOU, are one of those people who imagine that YOU have all the answers, so the real question is why are YOU here asking anybody anything, since YOU claim to know Far More than the Honda Engineers who built the Best Snowblower anyone in America can buy ? That transmission is the best power control design on two stage snowblowers, and it is child like in its operation, requiring only the reading of the owners manual to grasp, or the simple use of it but one time. Asinine would be buying a device you consider asinine in design, and then belly-aching about it in an effort to impress everyone about all you know about such machines. I bought the same machine after learning it was far and away the superior design for snowblowers, despite the added cost of that superior design. I applaud the Honda engineers and design professionals for building a better mousetrap, and I love the machines ability and performance which seems to coincide with every owners review I've ever read, except for yours.

In order to be familiar with Janes publications you need to be a defense contractor or someone who watches news a lot. :D My mother was the head librarian in our city, so i spent a lot of time at the library which was huge. I found the Janes series of books to be really cool. They were reference books so you couldn't take them out of the library.

"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."
