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

Hello I know this snowblower isn't available in the US but I was curious about it only having 250cc and being so heavy.Do you guys think it is powerful enough? live to hear from so Yammy owners:) Jamie.

Not sure what you mean, but all snowblower requires some kind of gear reduction to make the power coming the shaft usable power. 

I remember reading an older post on here where somebody made reference to the older Yamahas and how the auger was driven of the cam shaft and they had lots of torque.
I'm no mechanic by any means I just assumed this was different than most blowers??

I don't know if the new Yamaha has the cam shaft output arrangement.  Seems like that is a specific engine for the purpose of a snowblower and would likely be expensive to produce since the production volume is low compared to a general purpose engine.
