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

My current primary residence is fine with a single stager except for the EOD.
As of late, the wet snow we get, sometimes becomes a chore for my HS621.
Or it's more constant chopping, running the auger, breaking up the stuff in the chute, run auger, rinse and repeat


I did have a 724 but sold it - mainly just due to lack of space.
There have been times that I wish I had the 724 and there have also been times where I was smiling DANCING with the HS 621.


I DONT have space for both.

There is a screaming deal on a 724 with Tracks.
You know how it goes. Want versus reality.
I dunno if I'll be have buyers remorse and end up selling the 724TA down the road again...

Does the USA see a 10 year old trickle down product effect

Sadly, but no.  One can only wish such awesome models makes it to the shores of the USA. Yamaha left north American market many years ago, then came back to Canada.  Honda has no indication that they care. The only exciting news so far is that the 32" model got a bigger engine.  The other not so exciting news is that Honda now sells a premium 36" model with all the bells and whistles, for a whopping $8000.

But first, there's got to be an educational marketing campaign to convince USA demographics that hydrostatic transmission, electric motors, and hydraulic systems can and do work reliability in cold weather.  There are consumers who don't care about being to fix their own OPE when it breaks.

yea, but look at the prices when compared to the USA. i.e., Canada has the HSS928 (or the UK HSS970), but the Canadian price is a whopping $3,899 CDN. The US model without the electric chute is $2900 retail. It can be had for $2,350 NEW. Of course I love everything that is powered/electric, but that's way too steep.
