First Snowblow of 2024/25. Testing the Honda HS1132

[@bobbolvin871]

"It's more of a test to see if people will watch anything." And the answer is Yes! Yes, we will! :)

great machine, good video thanks !

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

Nice job. I see it kicks butt. Just what you want. Thankyou.

[@appleztooranges]

It’s a beast. The only thing I didn’t like about mine was no turning on it and didn’t handle small amounts of snow very well

[@peterchang7646]

yeah turning is a pain. That's why I prefer doing concentric circles when using it. Also the pattern that I do blows the snow away from the house. I hope to be in good enough shape to still use this machine in 10yrs. Thanks for watching.

[@appleztooranges]

@ did you try the new 1332 yet with the steering?

[@peterchang7646]

@@appleztooranges not in the market for a new blower at the moment....i bought this machine probably close to 20 yrs ago.

[@frankenberry9670]

We only have about 3cm ( ~1") of snow so far. Waiting and hoping. ;-). Its nice when there is no wind and you can just go in circles with only slight chute adjustment. I try to take as wide a swath as possible and then adjust the speed until just before I start snow plowing.

Very nice

[@toddb930]

Have you used it in wet, heavy, snow? I love the way your Honda launches the snow stream.

[@peterchang7646]

yeah. it's a late 90's model. I've owned if for about 15 yrs or so... It works pretty well in most snow conditions.

[@MultiJono86]

neat machine. how do you find the tracks vs tires for turning?

[@peterchang7646]

i've never had a wheeled machine.... it is the heaviest honda they made at the time, it's manageable for turning, i'm 52 with a wonky back... I can see wanting something different in 10 yrs or so. In the video, I make increasingly bigger laps so I don't have to do 180 degree turns after each pass. The newer tracked machines have a 'turning' function, but they are outta my price range.

[@davejustice7464]

That looks like a workhorse.

[@GreysonEvans-e1d]

How much snow from that storm

[@peterchang7646]

we got about 10" in under 6hrs. settled overnight to about 8"

[@johnnguyen2376]

Your Honda 's hunting for more gas ! Have a look at its carburetor . I believe it will do a lot better than that ! Mine's ...73 Ford Snow king 7hp did its job very well during this time in Ontario Canada 10 days ago ...7 ' wet heavy snow never see before in the last 40yrs !!

[@peterchang7646]

yep. 1st run of the season, 1st time running e10 ethanol in a long time... i enlarged the pilot jet from 0.35mm to about 0.39mm and the off load surging is gone now.

走行クラッチを握ってHSTで前後ニュートラルが正しいやり方です。 ベルトの摩耗や本体の寿命が縮まります。

1332 is to Big for your needs 720 is perfect for you

[@peterchang7646]

driveway's too big for the 720. I also used to have a 28'x46' rink in the backyard to clear as well. It's the older HS1132 that I have.

[@zavomika8306]

@@peterchang76461332 is a beast i have both 720 and 1332 trust me 720 can do it

[@skyemac8]

Nope, he has a long three car garage driveway.

[@toyarj37]

Shoveling or snow blowing a driveway is such a waste of time. If you have a truck or suv just put a plow on the front done in 5-10 min
