$500 to spend on toro 418 or Craftsman 205 cc single stage snowblower
Original Message   Dec 18, 2011 10:16 pm
I'm looking to add a single stage snowblower.  I currently have a toro 826 OXE two stage.  I didn't want to spend too much so my budget is about $500 or so.  Anyhow, I can get the toro 418 for $449 Canadian (electric start) or Sears Canada is having a sale on their Craftsman single stage 205 cc Briggs built single stage.  It's the same one that Briggs offers under different brands including simplicity.  This one is a display model and it comes with the remote chute control too.   I like the toro but I'm not sure if the small 87 cc engine and narrow 18" width would be of any use.  The Craftsman comes with a 22" width.

Which Confucius saying is that?    "Man running in front of car gets tired, man running behind car gets exhausted"  ?

I'm not a fan of Confucius, but Yoda I am.  :)

I think it goes something like: "You can make the big wok small, but you cannot make the small wok big"...something like that. I just modified it slightly for our little group of OPE fanatics!
