Not sure if it makes a difference but still it's an interesting design.

Its not really a "3 stage"..
Its still a 2-stage: augers + impeller = 2 stages.
It just has a different auger design.

(yes I know MTD themselves call it "three stage"..but thats just marketing hype IMO..
just because you say something, doesnt make it so! ;)

I tend to agree with you sscotsman, pure marketing obfuscation. Ask for a goat & they'd sell you a sheep & charge you more for the winter insulation option.

I saw one of these the other day at home depot (IIRC). I came here to get the straight poop on the new "feature". I've got one of their 930 machine from a couple of years ago. I notice that their big machine now only have the 12" impeller versus the 16" in the 930/933/945SWE machines. Time will tell if the "3rd stage" is a real improvement. Of course that 420cc motor would be an improvement in itself.
