He has it figured out for the most parts except i saw him relasing the lever to switch speeds. Since its hydrostatic you do not have to do that. One hand on the left lever to lock both of them and the other hand to control speed and chute fonction.
Both machines are top notch, I have the Honda and it’s a beast in Canadian winters, it’s only 6.5 hp with a 24” path but a lot more efficient compare to my previous 10 hp, 27” MTD, I have no doubt the Yamaha is just as good as well, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy either of the two.
I've been looking at the Yamaha version. Currently have the Craftsman track drive, but it offers no benefit over a wheeled version because it's not hydrostatic and doesn't have the push to keep the tracks moving. Yelled at a Honda operator using hydrostatic, hey buddy your machine good? He says yeah man, watch me.
Excellent comparison and good demonstration of why you don't bother muscling, as it doesn't really do any good. That same effort used to keep the nose down while going slowly would have produced the same results with less effort, as shown with the Honda.
Bought this for my small back deck in the Eastern Sierra. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxoHYZbq5g9fkcAtinlTqstNlje-UQkCHN We get A LOT of HEAVY snow so I was a bit skeptical but it was worth it! After the first storm of the year this has exceeded expectations! It throws snow very well, even 10-12” + that said the more it piles up the harder it is to maneuver the machine. It is exceptionally light weight and overall exactly what I was looking for. If you have a large amount of snow and a lot of area to clear, you may consider something with a drive engine to help maneuverability, but for decks, second stories, roofs etc, you can’t beat the light weight to great snow throwing ratio. Side note, the chute rotator is a bit flimsy and it initially didn’t seem to work, after a few uses it seems to have loosened up.
I have a 8hp yamaha. It's about 20 years old. 10 years ago i forgot to tighten the oil drain plug and lost all the oil. It seized up while going through a 2 foot drift after running around 10 minutes with no oil. I soaked it in diesel and manually got the engine to turn over. Filled it with oil and still running like new. The carb is giving me a bit of grieve because I leave crap gas in it too long. My bad there, but the machine is an animal.
Yamaha YS828 is a great machine. I bought an ultrasonic cleaner and put the carb through a good cleaning, and it paid off. Been running very well this winter, and we've had a lot of snow now.
Cool observation. Maybe some of that is the technique. The Yamaha guy is wearing himself out fast, but he's managing to cram just a tiny bit more into the auger. Doesn't seem to make much of a difference, though. I'm betting if he let the machine just go to it, both would clear about the same.
They're both basically identical being the best blowers you can get. The only edge I see over each brands is once you go top models where Yamaha with it's YT1332 makes a difference with it's similar near 600lb weight but with the smaller path meaning it doesn't wander around.
A lot of fun to watch, have a YT1070 in Norway and really happy with it. Different style of working the blower here. Would be fun if you work the machines in the same way if possible?? New video please :-)
Yes I agree with you. The Yamaha driver took a bigger cut, and the snow was really compact in the lower area. Therefore Yamaha driver is working hard. The secound run Honda had to take the «hard part».
@@asgeirjohansen3518 Asgeir, er de to maskinene veldig like i bruk eller opplever du noen forskjeller du kan fortelle om? Tenker på ting som kraft, grep, evne til ikke å styre opp i dyp snø. Håper du kan si litt! 🙂
Jeg er ikke proff, men har kjørt begge en del. Jeg vil si at Hondaen er litt enklere å manøvrere. Dels fordi den er mye lettere, og fordi at den har hjelpestyring på hendler. På grunn av at hjelpestyringen fungerer ved at det ene belte låses, hjelper ikke dette så mye i veldig dyp snø. Dette kjenner du kanskje til. Yamahaen har litt mer kraft, og er svært retningsstabil. Den har en veldig flott joystick. Opp/ned er manuell, mens sidestyring er elektrisk. Veldig bra. Beltene er rimelig lik. Mener å huske at Yamaha har litt lengre belte. Alt i alt ville jeg valgt Yamaha hvis det er masse snø, fordi motorkraften er stabil uansett hvor mye snø. Hondaens motorkraft «ga seg litt». Men Hondaen har moderne utseende, lettere, og gode manøvreringsevner under normale forhold. Begge er driftssikre. Til syvende og sist står man ovenfor et fargevalg. Rød eller blå😁
SURPRISE PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW SNOW BLOWERS WORK.. I'm not a Honda or Yamaha fan at all I'm a Toro guy.. But The guy in the Yamaha was not doing that on purpose people!!! He was doing it because the machine was riding up on top of the snow automatically because THE FRONT WOULD NOT STAY DOWN!! I've experienced this with snow blowers that are not very heavy. So then you have to let it ride up on its own pull it back and then do the bottom half HE HAS NO CHOICE.. On the other hand THE HONDA IS WEIGHED CORRECTLY IT'S GOT THOSE TRACKS I THINK AND IT KEEPS THE FRONT END DOWN!! How do people not know this if they have snow blowers.. In other words for this type of snow the Honda IS A MUCH BETTER MACHINE.. I've seen tons of videos on the Honda when they just let it go on its own don't even touch it it'll just go right through anything the snow will fall on top of it it won't ride up on anything it works fantastic
I have both a Yamaha 9-28 and a Honda 13-32. Both great machines but I like Yamaha a slight bit better. The extra weight and serrated cutting edge keeps the machine from riding up the snow.
I wonder what kind of anti floating mecanism the Yamaha has.. or doesn’t have 😊 the Honda HSS1336 can control the auger angle. easily with a lever. so is this a design flaw or a bad strategy on the part of the Yamaha operator..
You can't let the machine do the work if it keeps climbing over the snow there's no stopping it. The guy with the Yamaha is doing what he needs to do and let me tell you it sucks. My ariens does the same thing.
Actually, That's appears to be a Yamaha YT624 model, and not the YS1070. (Known as the YS1028J here in Canada) The 10HP Yamaha would have a Blue or white top and the headlight would be mounted towards the front on top of the body just behind the auger housing. The YT624 is recognizable because it has a black fuel tank with the headlight mounted on the handlebar. I'm guessing the Honda is a 724 model as well, but both are NICE machines!
Hi Chris. Im the owner of the YT 1070, and my uncle is driving the Honda 970. Maybe it is different colours in Europe. But I can guaranti that both are as the headline says😊
@@asgeirjohansen3518 Good to know! They most certainly appear to be different in Canada. Both Yamaha and Honda are great machines and they will serve their purpose very well. I've got to wonder if your Yamaha has a recoil starter, as my YS1028J does not... Thanks again!
Lol nice video. Im sure they are both great, but the guy running the yamaha looks the be doing twice the work to accomplish the same thing in essentially the same time.
I would have to say the Honda wins after watching how hard the Yamaha guy had to work to stay ahead. The kinda he just walked. The Yamaha guy was working his ass off.
Kan ta på meg at jeg burde latt maskinen gjøre mer av jobben, men det var ei hard skorpe som jeg tok i første run. Så, juks eller ikke - Yamaha vant den testen. Men lover rematch til vinteren.!!
I'd say the honda inches it out. The guy w the yamaha was really trying to push it while the other guy was just slowly going forward without bustin his butt
La honda étais a slow et yamaha a font, un fesait attention a sa machine et l'autres était pret a tout pour gagné. Ten qu'a faire un comparatif, faites le comme il faut !
The yamaha is Biggest piece of 💩 I have ever bought.Purchased new the same winter that covid.started and it has failed me every winter since. so far I have replaced the switch that controls the shoot, the shock that controls the tilt of the machine and now it won't go in reverse and of course the warranty just ran out on the thing.And forget storing it in your shed, you have to keep it in a heated place or everything will freeze up on it and you won't be able to use it until it thaws out and it doesn't have to be very cold out for this to happen either its ridiculous. I always thought of yamaha as being of good quality and reliable that's why I bought it but not anymore, if I had my time back I wudda the honda.
The guy on the Honda has it figured out...let the machine do the work.
They both look slow af
@@leadnsteel1428 your supposed to go slow. Inch it forward. Let the machine do the work. Not pushing and pulling like the wheel models.
@@GoofieNewfie my 30 inch Husqvarna goes faster than that it's self propelled
@@leadnsteel1428 in snow that thick? I doubt it. It wouldn't even be able to make a path. It would be stuck a the beggining spinning.

Using the FPS rate of the video, the Yamaha throws out a steady stream of snow while the flow out of the Honda chute looks staccato like

The Yamaha guy has a good cocaine connection.
The guy using the Yamaha looks like he's never used one of these before, slow it down and let the machine do the work
Haha totally agreed with you. It is not my first blower, but I took a much bigger cut than Honda-guy. Very compact snow near the ground
Hello dear! Please tell me how many meters the HONDA 724 throws sleet
This is the Honda 970. I throws 16 meters
@@asgeirjohansen3518Wet snow too??
Why is the yamaha riding up on the snow?
Shoulda put aToro against the Honda 😂..
Just used mine today. Secondary auger speed matters. HONDA FTW!

I had a 928 Honda with battery for chute (no steering), and sold it when we moved to a condo. It was like a Panzer Mark IV 😂
Skulle valgt YS1070T litt tyngre enn 1070
Ikke bare litt tyngre 🙂

Slow and steady wins the race. Less hard on the machine aswell.
Hard jobb med den Yamahaen. Ser ut til at den jobber seg oppover i snøen.
The Honda one seems to be a lot less work or input.
Honda Power !
The Honda-guy hasn’t figured out the hydrostatic transmission; not necessary to lift the drive clutch lever to shift from forward to reverse…

Slow down Yamaha. Way too fast thats why your riding up onto the snow.
I think both machines are equal, it's just that the Honda has a better operator. Personally, I went with Honda because it's cheaper.
It's not cheaper 😀
I prefer the Honda, both are good machines though…
The guy with the Honda will live to blow snow another day the other guy's technique will probably give most people a heart attack.
