I had a HS828 from 1994 to 2007. The audio track from this video brings back wonderful memories. My HS828 would make those same engine sounds when it contacted a snow drift and the engine loaded down. And it threw snow and cleared paths like no other snowblower. From light snow to heavy slush, the only thing that could touch it (or come close) was another Honda. Easily the most expensive walk-behind snowblower you could buy. And worth every penny.... I paid $1899 for my HS828TAS in 1994. I think the HS928ATD is around $3499 now.
I've owned a track-drive HS928, which was eventually traded on the HSS298ATD that I own now. Is the HS928 in the video a Canadian market-only model? I ask because the machine that we see here appears to incorporate several HSS-series features on the prior generation machine: LED lighting, an electric chute rotation control, height control via a pneumatic strut ( and not a foot pedal) and the articulated chute exit of the HSS1332....and, if I'm seeing things correctly, on-board 12V electric starting. Just curious. Frankly, the HS928 in the video looks like an HSS-series blower with a few HS parts, like the white wheels. I wouldn't mind the auger height extension accessory. The OEM Honda drift cutters are non-adjustable and project out from the machine significantly, which can affect how easily or not the blower is stored. On that point, the Husqvarna drift cutters are adjustable, sliding up and down via wing nuts, and are a confirmed fit on at least the HSS928. Yes, these machines are beasts. My neighbor's hoary, box store-grade Troy-Bilt blower is oftentimes relegated to clean-up duty after I make the first clearing pass with my Honda. Good times.

That thing is an absolute unit. Honda always makes some superior stuff 💪
Now that is a snowblower!!!
Holy cow. No doubt that’s a work horse. Video speaks volumes

Are those lights factory installed
Great. What is the difference between HS928 and HSS928? Does the newer one have any real advantages?
The HSS are the newer models which you can power one track at the time when turning. The bucket are higher too so you dont need extension like mine.
that shit makes me rock hard
same
Nice rig
Quebec ?
Yes!
