Snowblower ideologies:
If you think your machine might be bit small for the job, it
probably will when you need it most.
You don't get a second chance. The roads are
closed, and the stores are sold out.
We say, "plan ahead". 1 foot snows are
fairly common in this part of the NY,
2 foot snows less common, but certainly not unheard of. 3
foot snows do happen. What is worse is the latest trend in the last
few years, and that is very heavy, dense, wet snow. We have
personally found that the larger full size Toro or Ariens
will actually blow heavy slush. I could not say that about the 'old
days' when snow came out like a donut!
I want to let you in on a secret. Small
2 stage snowblowers LOOK less intimidating...
but you will soon find out you are working as hard or harder than the
machine! Remember the model you are purchasing today is going
to be around 20 years from now, and you likely won't be the same
shape you are now. Get the right machine for the right job.
Not sure which machine is best for you? Stop by, and we'll
ask all kinds of questions, but we will arrive at the conclusion
you want most!

What
a quality snowblower can do for you?
Things To Look For
- Product design makes a difference.
The better units will have a steering assist (although the
cheap units try to imitate this concept using plastic
parts).
- The better units will also have a smoother operating chute
control.
- Better machines will use thicker metal, this is especially
crucial in the scraper area
- Smarter designed units will have an effective chute height
control that actually works!
- The list goes on and on, but you get the idea.

all kinds of questions, but we will arrive at the right conclusion!

-
Most Toro 2 stage units are
generally
'PRO' level. They don't make a 'cheap' unit for economics, only smaller units. The same front gearbox is used throughout
practically the whole lineup.
-
Quick Stick™ chute control on
PowerMax 2 Stage units make changing chute direction and height
quick and easy. It works very well!

-
PowerMax™ snow 'recycling'

This revolutionary system meters snow intake. Snow that's not
immediately thrown is returned back into the auger.
-
Freewheel Steering
for effortless maneuverability.
Wheels can be disengaged
independently or simultaneously, making steering easy for anyone. This well thought-out
gearing design is made of metal! (Not
plastic.)
-
Toro does not use shear bolts.
They use hardened grade 5 bolts. They also have an extremely
well built gearbox up front. Fact is, we see extremely
few Toro gearbox issues. If you hit something, the belt
just squeals - you let off the lever and go investigate with the
engine off.
