Has anyone used the toro snow blower? Would you recommend it?
Winter is comming soon and I'm remembering what it was like to have to clear my driveway and walkway of the snow. Usually we don't get tons of snow (1 or 2 storms a year with under 6 inches) but I'm thinking in investing in a snow blower this year to save my back.
we live in the midwest and the winters can be pretty bad.
the last few years have been really good, only a few storms but the snow can get up to a foot high.
if you are looking for a good blower for a good size area where you may get snow a foot or more then go with the large size. it doesn't matter on the brand name, they all work well.
if you live in a warmer climate where you never get over a few inches, then you can go with the smaller of the two.
we have had 2, on small and one large. the larger one was easier to work with in regards to the snow.
make sure your funnel (where the snow blows out of) can be adjusted (you don't want to blow it on areas you have already cleared). get one with a key start and get a warranty on it. it's only about 25 or 50 dollars more and the warranty will last a couple of years. you can usually renew as well.
Yes, I would absolutley recommend Toro snowblowers. I live in Minnesota and deal with plenty of thick heavy snow. I have a four acre yard with a very large driveway. The toro is old, but always does its job. It saves alot of backbreaking work, is light and powerful.
