So who wants to buy a nice Toro Snow Commander?
Original Message Mar 2, 2013 4:53 pm

Starts on first or second pull, runs well.
Will throw snow 30'
(if the winds at your back blowing 50mph)

Well it's all back to stock and going on Craigslist tonight or tomorrow.
Think I'll ask $300 but will take $275 for it.
For someone who's needs are different than mine.
Regarding throwing distance.
This will be a good blower for them.
Just missed a good buy on a Toro 3650 on Craigslist today.
Guy sold it for $70.00
Ran and looked to be in good shape.

Would you take fine beer from MN for your MN made snowblower? Hopefully you like GrainBelt (a step above Pabst Blue Ribbon)?

And if you act now we'll throw in a second Toro Snow Commander absolutely free (just pay separate shipping & handling charges).

Hehehe. Is that true jrtrebor?

Reminds me of the Top Gun movie...."son, your ego is writing checks your body can't cash"

He already has three?

Does he have a thing for collecting "underachievers"?

Find yourself an old Craftsman or Murray SS. Cheap, fun and effective.

If anyone can bring Honda HS35 to its full maximum potential, it is either borat or jrtrebor. I had enough with HS35 (no mas).

Yea he had four and this one would have been # 5.
It seems that for the areas he has to clean they work great for him.
Kind of an expensive blower to collect.

Not sure you will find one that will not need a lot of elbow grease. It's an old rare model, one of Honda's first SS to the US. It's like the Honda Civic of snowblower.
