Overview
A steel serrated auger feeds a three-blade high speed steel impeller that throws snow out a chute, with an in-dash lever setting the deflector. Electric start, Auto-Turn steering and an LED headlight come with it.
A wide path, a high-output impeller and a multi-speed drive handle deep snow on large driveways, and steering and lighting aids add control. Size and weight mean storage space and fuel upkeep.
Who it's for
Homeowners and small property owners who clear large areas in heavy snowfall. Those with short walks should choose a lighter machine.
Pros and cons
- Wide clearing path
- Cast iron gear case
- Gas power needs fuel and storage
- Handwarmers and drift cutters are optional
Performance notes
The engine drives the auger and impeller together, and the disc drive with six forward speeds sets how fast the machine advances into the snow. Directional snow tread tires add grip, and a remote deflector control adjusts the throw angle from the handlebar.
