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

To Robert Coats @Honda,

I saw a picture of some young lady operating a new Honda with taller bucket, taller and wider handles.  No, it's not the mystical Yeti running through Boston.  :)  Could this be the next new snowblower designed and manufactured in North America for the USA?  Any info you can shed on this? 

A team from Honda has just returned from Colorado, where they were testing and photographing snow removal equipment:



No firm word on models, features, test results, etc. at this time. American Honda Motor  Co., Inc. has previously indicated during last year's press event at the Swepsonville, NC factory that new 2-stage models would indeed start begin manufacturing at the plant, which already makes all North American single-stage models. Watch this space for more details as they become available.

I work for Honda, but the preceding is my opinion alone.

Thanks Robert.  This is good news.  I'm happy to hear that the new 2 stage models are going to be manufactured in the US.  That would be a step in the right direction having design engineering, manufacturing, and support on the same side of the pond.  What an awesome concept.
