Wet heavy snow is the worst to deal with. One needs to go as slow as possible on the first pass and after than take two thirds or half a bucket instead of a whole bucket. Smaller snow blowers are not as robust as the heavy-duty ones with 14-inch impeller and auger systems. Sometimes one needs to shut down the machine and unclog the wet snow out of the shoot. Last year here in southeastern MI we got 8 inches of the some of the wettest snow I have ever had to deal with. Second season with my Toro Power Max HD 1232. This was the test I was waiting for. After an hour of blowing that slop, I was overly impressed with the performance of this machine. At no time did the machine even hit of clogging and throwing distance was well over 50'. I have never seen snow pack on the rubber wheels like that snow, it was the worst snow ever! After a half revolution of the tires the snow would fall off but what a mess that snow was to deal with. Lets see what this winter brings. One thing about using snow blowers, the more time using them, the better you get at getting the most out of them.

I just ordered a similar one, $399.Walmart. Just arrived today, undamaged and complete, It's unboxed and assembled. Not started yet, Didn't even notice if it has a throttle. The last few winters my 22" single stage blowers have been adequate, On level pavement the auger kinda helps pull them along. But I got 100 ft of uphill driveway and at 80 years old it's too hard to push the little blowers up the hill. Hopefully this new one will be up to the task. Might be this user was pushing the light machine too hard for the deep heavy snow. I have a couple old heavier snow blowers that could still be repaired and put back in service. but they tend to be big and awkward if the snow not deep.

No, this user was not. And after I took the machine to a repairman, he identified a system problem that basically made the machine worthless. Which Amazon probably knew when or shortly after they started selling them.

Sloooowly catching back up. I have a beautiful durafly version that's a hanger queen! I think between age and not flying consistently I'm scared to fly the damn thing? It's starting to chip away at my mind because it needs to be flown! Thanks for sharing!🎉🎉🎉

@azzir325Ай бұрын
Final disposition: So I took the machine to a trusted mechanic and the verdict was internal problems that would cost more to fix than the machine was worth. I kind of figured that when Amazon gave me a full refund, virtually no questions asked and they didn't want the machine back. I gave the carcass to my friend for parts. The end.

Привет!! Снегоуборщик отличный......Однако я заметил, что двигателю не хватает сил для такой толщины мокрого снега.....Приходится использовать только половину ковша......Какую мощность имеет двигатель?? Наверное около 6 л.с.? У меня китайский снегоуборщик на 7 сил. Не такой красавчик, как у Вас конечно, но тоже помогает с уборкой снега...... Пришлось, правда, немного его доработать.....а так ничего....помогает!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qH22oaGfi9Vmo80 🙂

It was a long time ago already, and I still have not flown it. Typical old school ARF assembly, but I do remember struggling with the nacelle installations. They were very tight and took a bit of work to fit them into the proper place. Maybe the newer ones have fixed this glitch. Thanks for watching!

After you put the battery in, before you plug it in, just give it the "finger balance" test. If it hangs somewhere around 1/4 to 1/3rd of the way back, you should be golden. Good luck!

I love the old biplanes. My dad ordered plans from a late 60's to very early 70's RC Modeler magazine for what I remember was called "Rumblestadt". he used ranger 42 foam wings and the 10 motor wasn't enough, so he upgraded to a 20 and it flew beautifully. My pops 84 and still has the fuselage, but loaned the ranger 42 wings to a kid building a bipe and he never returned the wings.
