Nice Day for a snow clearing video - in HD Original Message Jan 25, 2012 1:43 pm
Finally got some snow here so I took out most of the fleet to have some fun and put the machines to use. Beautiful weather. Crisp, clear with a bit of a breeze but not too bad. First up is the Craftsman SS then the Toro 221 and finally the Simplicity. Not too much snow maybe 5 or 6 inches but nice consistency. Fine, fairly dense and dry. Here's a link to the video:

Thanks for the info Frank I'll stick with mine for the moment, I can't beat the money I have into mine (free + a belt and carb kit, so ~$25 total). But I'll see how mine does if we ever get any deeper snow. If it's underpowered (rather likely), I'll probably try to boratify it, and/or keep an eye out for something inexpensive and more powerful.
Plus I think I'd need to be able to justify shopping for a different machine I have my new-to-me 2-stage, my old 2-stage (waiting for some snow & demand on CL before listing it), and my new-to-me SS. If I announced I was shopping for *another* one already, with no real runtime on the "new" ones, I might have some 'splaining to do
