This sucker is 8-HP, 28” Wide, Electric Start.
Only cost 799 because it’s a generic model I got at my local Home & Garden store.
Honda wanted 2,300-dollars for something similar.
They can go
themselves at THAT price.
I now drive an accord....

I hear that, Honda makes great lawn equipment but I can't see the price. Yea I paid $530 for mine at lowes but I didn't need anything bigger because my driveway is only about 75ft long two cars wide but I wasnt' spending any more than what I did becuase it will get the job done

It’s been serviced several times and the guy said it wasn’t worth putting any more money into.

It finally started snowing here at 9AM.
I’ll have no problem at all when I’m leaving for home……….in THREE HOURS !!!
Tomorrow on the other hand I may be driving the wife to and from work when we get the really HEAVY accumulation.
Unless she wants to “play” in her new RAV4.
She always HATED to drive in the snow. We’ll see if that attitude changes now that she has a 4X4.

I have two flights of steps and about 50FT of sidewalk to do as well.

That is the KING of consumer blowers though.
If it were 14-15 hundred I might have done it, but over two grand is NUTS !!!

Yea, Hydrostatic is cool, (my Honda mower has it) but I couldn’t justify TRIPLE the cost.

that is my dream blower, but we fell into what Shawn did...too much money, especially after spending a grand for the commerical hydrostatic mower from Honda...so we got an 8HP MTD (generic) blower...
