Not to rain on the parade of CR bashing, but to bring this back to the original point about our freinds snow blower question, I purchased a Simplicity, albeit used, i still would have spent the full retail on it, B&S engine solid chassis, bar controls, (not beating on the Toro's, but not cables) I just felt that the Simplicity or JD was the best value in my opinion... if we want to beat on other research forums, lets start another discussion and not wast this thread... Cheers Doug |

OK. so reading posts, thinking (never agood idea) and just all around observing, Is a Honda machine more effective because it runs at a higher RPM? I have the Tiny Tach on my Simplicity and it runs at about 3500-3600 unloaded and it bogs to about 3200 with a load. Make no mistake, I have no performance issues with it but hearing the praises and the like, does a Honda run faster, and have faster "gearing" on the impeller so the snow goes farther. |

All the ones that Badgerland sells are 4x4's. Also due to regulations here in Wisconsin as well as the whole US they are limited to 1st gear and reverse, nothing more. You are right I would not want to get into any mess with them I have been in one (i'm 6'5 285) and they are not even as big as a Tacoma, even an old one. But for ranches, remote areas, hunting, all that stuff they are great. He also has Track kits for them, in addition to most of them being dump beds. if you saw that too...
