Maybe he was working a double shift at the local emergency room where he saved 10 people’s lives who were in a horrific bus crash.

During the day I do what you suggest, but for the last snow storm I had to deal with it would have ment going out at 10PM, 2AM, and 6AM. It would have saved some time, but not enough to make getting out of bed and bundled up in the middle of the night to be worth the effort. I'm also either retired or on an extended break from work, so I have the time.

adds +25 hp trust me

Sort of. It does not drive the wheels but the auger pulls you along.

This one did not have a fuel valve installed on it and I doubt it was changed from how it was sold.

Sold my 10 year old Ariens 2 stage to family and bought this yesterday (Sept 21). Here’s hoping!

@@bradleymack4583 hope it serves you well. The old Ariens 2 stage machines are great as well.

@@mosgarage9370 Well, as luck would have it… I was supposed to sell to family. Their parents gifted them a 3 year old blower, so now I get to keep my Ariens and my Honda.

@@bradleymack4583 have you been able to compare the two?

@@myeyesareopen9752 Not yet. Haven’t had any snow yet… but I’m ready!!!

Apparently Honda changed their tread design. Best bet would be to replace wheels with HS520 wheels or see if the new 720 wheels appear different and go with those.

Same problem with mine. Snow sticks to wheels and they won't turn, rendering it useless.. Machine too heavy.

Sorry I’m late. Toro pulls harder and has better surface cleaning ability. Honestly might’ve gotten a newer Toro instead of the Honda if I could go back. They both work well and don’t have any serious “cons” but toro power clear technology is the real deal.

@@mosgarage9370 a little late yup lol

Actually sold this one for 225 and picked up another one for $50 lol.

I just bought a single stage today. I was reading some reviews of various 2 stage snowblowers on Canadian Tire, and a few reviews mentioned how they regret getting a larger blower as it's more tedious to turn around or maneuver in tight areas.

How do you like the ariens if you did end up getting it? Think I’d probably get a toro 821 if I was to go and buy one today. Wish the Honda pulled the way the toros do but I know it’ll start every time and it does just fine for the snow we get.

@@mosgarage9370 well just had 4" of slush and did a great job.

@@mosgarage9370 have had my toro 821 qze going into the 3rd season, have done hundreds of drives and walks, replaced the lousy plastic snow sticking tires with the older toro rubber ones, same axle size, this 252 cc engine is a beast, nothing bogs it down, even the wet snow. I highly recommend this one, only 96 lbs too, it's fun to use and work commercial with it!! Good day!

They both pull you along if you tilt them.

Yessir. 141cc monsters.

@@mosgarage9370 My sears crafts man is the same engine .Its a beast 25 years old and still going strong.

@@mosgarage9370 I'm getting rid of mine due to the smell of smoke but it still runs great.

I'm thinking of getting the 4 cycle I heard they are pretty good machines too

@@leadnsteel1428 guy I worked for has a 4 cycle machine a few years newer than this one. He said he left gas in it through the summer and it started first pull today for the first snow of the season.

Tough choice. I feel like the toro is made better and will last longer but I haven’t used any of the newer toros to know if they are as well made. I’m a 2 stroke guy so probably the toro.

Toro seems to pull better but my paddles couldn’t be worn or out of adjustment. I like the Honda and haven’t had any problems with it but I truly believe you can’t go wrong with either brand.

Can’t beat it! Picked up another one a few months ago for $50.

Can I remove a K and filter if I have the Yoshi exhaust already on?

Friend has one with the Suzuki engine in it. Looking forward to trying it out this winter if he doesn’t get rid of it.

@@mosgarage9370 Last year I curb-picked a 1991 Toro Recycler lawnmower with that same Suzuki 2-cycle engine. I fixed it up and it starts with a half pull from cold at 30yrs old. Best cutting mower on the block. It cuts far better than my Honda HRX 217. Sounds cooler too.

Same here. Curbed picked a QRZ that had a blown engine while I had a 3650 that I found for $40 years before. The QRZ has the chute control on the right that slides up and down the handle so I modified the 3650 to fit the chute and control on the handle. Thing is a beast. I mix my fuel with Benol racing oil and grape scented fuel perfume. I also add Startron ethanol emulsifier to the fuel. Engines run clean and efficient.

I believe it’s the same model just a bit older.

True. Definitely not designed to take that much snow at that pace. Normally with this much snow I’ll take half as much at a time so there isn’t as much leftover as seen here. Better than shoveling and many snowblowers made today for sure.

Not sure if you noticed but the chute was not set to throw the snow higher. If it was raised to itself highest point that snow would have traveled 20 to 25 feet. It was yhrowing snow that was as high as the housing and the operator was pushing quite fast. These machines are beasts. Every commercial landscaper has more Toro SS machines than 2 stages.

Thanks chief. I did start in the middle and I was taking the big bites to show what it could do.

I was trying to show how it did taking a full swipe.

How so? Not sure if this one even has an adjustable scraper bar.

Lol it's spring loaded. And with snow like this you usually have to go back and get the tailings

Does it run good on starting fluid? Like does the timing seem right for the 10 seconds it runs on starting fluid?

replace carb

I was wondering down the road whether to try a ceramic wax coating or some kinda of Teflon spray. This is my 3rd winter with it and I haven’t had any problems with it clogging but we haven’t had a lot of heavy wet snow. Thanks for commenting!

Nothing like the power of a good old 2 stroke. Sold this thing, but was seriously considering keeping it over our newer Honda blower. If it had the quick shoot there’s a good chance it’d still be in my garage! Thanks for commenting and I hope you enjoy your new Toro!

You made a good purchase. I’d recommend spraying the chute and or wheels with some type of Teflon lubricant and you should be good to go!

@@mosgarage9370 Great tip, thanks!

Yes I agree it’s clearly 2 stage level snow. I normally would’ve gone out multiple times but this was the heaviest snow we had gotten in a long time so I wanted to test out a couple machines. Thanks for watching!

Who cares it walked right through it

Really depends on how big your driveway is. Since we usually maybe get 1 snowfall like this a year I’d say it’s sufficient for a 2 car driveway but anything wider or longer I’d go with a 2 stage. I’d highly recommend looking into the Toro 724 or 824 QXE.

I'm in Michigan, but I only have driveway and path to door. I am going with Ariens pro 21 though as I have alot of Ariens equipment already and good relationship with my dealer.

Yes I believe that is correct. I put 1.9 quarts in mine which is equal to 1.8 liters. I also think 5,000kms sounds about right. I don’t tend to ride it quite that much in a season so I just change it once a year. Thanks for commenting!

I have the yoshi alpha exhaust and I can get the KN filter on and off with no problem 🤷

@@MrBiscuitsAndmustard on this bike? I just installed a full yoshi alpha exhaust, And the bike already had the KN filter. I was about to do a oil change but thought I would have a issue. Does your KN have bolt at end ? I’m planning on using strap wrench but making sure I’ll be able to get it off and a new one in. I don’t have Kawasaki oem filter . Thank you

@@myankraj7348 yeah it has a bolt on the end. Kn 303

I have 2018 z650
