Snowblower 2nd Opinion

[lawn mower fanatic]

Do they still make snowblowers with track drive system or is all of them rubber tire drive now?

I know Husqvarna and Honda do...if you want to spend thousands.

Husqvarna...MSRP: $2,400 (HUSQVARNA 1827EXLT - Snow throwers)

Honda...MSRP: $2,469 (Honda Snowblowers: HS724TA Two-stage Snowblower)

Thanks for links lawn mower fanatic.

Snapper and Simplicity doesnt have track drive. Is there run time on the engine or drivetrain on the snowblowers as far as cool period for certain amount time using it without shutting it down?

That does not make any sense. Try again.

How long can you run snowblower without shutting it off besides for refueling.

As long as you want to..... It's hard to overheat in the winter so unless something is mechanically wrong it should run for a long time

OK, Someone told me you only run them a 4-6 hours at time.

I don't think so few years back I was using an ariens 2 stage and the starter broke we were getting a lot of snow and a trip back to the shop would have taken an hr and a half. I had started it when the starter broke and I just let it run all day... Probably 8 or 9 hrs I filled it up on low idle a few times I never had an issue with it.

Ok Thank you.


Might not be able to buy new snowblower on closeout sale come spring. I went to Lowes today and not one snowblower in site on the floor or outside unless they havent got them in yet.
