Odd question
Original Message   Nov 13, 2011 9:12 pm
Let me ask a question, suppose you have four snow blowers side by side all the same width, horsepower, etc. What makes one better then the other? Forget plastic chute vs steel, forget the power steering, heated grips, reliability, etc,etc. I am talking about moving snow......will say a 3k Honda have tighter auger clearances and make for moving more snow? Just trying to understand the huge variance in snow blowe prices.

If all machines are side by side with equal output engines will will say 9hp Honda move more snow then say a 9hp craftsman with a Tecumseh?

Yes, of course, more fun.    Nice video,        I like to see the snow going over the tall trees in my back yard.

Yeah, it's only fun when you can blow the fenders clear off the minivan...two streets away.

Really?  It looks like a residential driveway.

I meant Bill's Power Equipment in Brookfield where the guy on youtube bought his snow blower from.Probably he lives in the area also.
