small tractor with snowblower

Well,I finally did it. The old riding mower died;so I went and bought a Husqvarna GTH2448T with a snowblower. I'm getting soft in my old age. Hope this's as good as some have told me.
My son will be the new owner of my 3 y.o. Toro snowblower. He'll enjoy it, I'm sure.

I read a lot of posts that blame poor setup for a lot of problems. This makes me wonder how much setup is involved. When I bought my Toro a few years agoI had to buy it online because I couldn't find any locally due to a big storm that cleaned everyone out. When it was delivered i had to assemble the handle,tractiong control linkage,chute control rod,and headlight. Then it was just a matter of checking the tires and skid height,and filling the engine with gas & oil. I'm hardly a qualified mechanic,so it seems that anyone that can read should be able to setup a snowblower. Problems such as belts,etc.would seem to be the manufacturer's problem,not the dealer's; unless it specifically relates to setup for that particular brand. I know that they are covered in the manual,but not under setup,so it falls back on the manufacturer. Just my $02 |

On my old Bolens I used something called Sno-Jet. Worked great! So far I've had no problems with mey Toro that I bought in '03

I've been using a leaf blower for a couple of years to clean off the light dustings we sometimes get. Works great. Ice is usually so bonded to the driveway that I haven't tried it for that. Yeah, it works well for light dusitings and I clear the car too. Also, I use it to dry the car after using the power washer.

Re: New Toro snowblower already broken

Hi Paul, Hey, I wish you had used a different Subject title. I recommend Toro to my friends.  I have a 2003 PowerMax,and am happy with it. Snowcab plus weight kit. " New Toro snowblower already broken " really looks bad at first glance.  The odds of that spring breaking must be almost astronomical,and I don't think Toro's QC could have noticed a defect. Glad to hear it wasn't anything more serious,and that your dealer took care of you. Hope you have many years of easy snow removal in your future, Another Eastern MA resident |
