You can't beat this machine, I sold my Ariens rapid track last year for the US version of this machine, that Ariens was awful unless on even ground.... Yes you have to walk behind it still, but with 3,000lbs per minute of throwing capacity, it clears more snow faster and farther than a garden or most subcompact tractors. Plus, it fits between garden gates where plows and 5+ foot front or rear mounted Snowblowers wont fit.

Can't beat Honda Snowblowers. I bought mine 10 years ago, and still works like a charm. The only mod I'm considering to do to mine, is to swap out the halogen lamp with a LED one. Dry snow, wet snow. No problem, as long as the throw chute don't clog. Nothing a little silicone spray won't prevent :)

[@InTheVise]

Hi! Thank you for your comment! I replaced the halogen lamp with LED, much more light. But keep in mind that LED does not get as hot as a halogen bulb, so snow can build up on the light when snowblowing in windy conditions. (Some LED lights have built in heating wires in the glass to prevent this)

[@snakerstran9101]

Me likey. One thing that always bugs me and is so blatant with this monster is how he is taking only about 2/3 of a swath and still having snow falling onto the cleaned area. Seems at this level of deluxeness, they could maybe add an additional panel wing mounted flat on each side of the auger with a pivot bolt at the front. The wing facing the clean side could be rotated forward to collect the falling snow so a full swath could be taken. Heck, those wings could be motorized with one more control on the dash.

That is definitely a nice machine. Curious on how it is with the heavy snow? And slush too? You have quite the property. With that said, would you consider like a skid steer with blower? Just asking with all due respect. I’m thinking if that’s a farm, a skid steer is definitely beneficial to what you do there and be quicker to plow that massive yard. Just my opinion of course

[@InTheVise]

Thanks! It does good in wet snow. Slush can clog up the chute, but that is a problem on all snow blowers. We have a tractor as well. Skid steers are not so common in Norway.

@@InTheVise Makes sense! Boy oh boy is that a nice Honda though! Have to use snowchains (RWD), and have to back up the driveway, which I have to do to clean up the plowbank anyway, so have at least been able to test the concept. Middle here (Trøndelag) and same deal, not too many snowfalls, which means the summer is going to be hot, and next winter we're going to get hit with a lot of snow. It's been years since we've had alternating cycles like this, but nothing to panic about so long as we're prepared 😁

What is hybrid about the machine? The adjustments? I have a 7/24 on wheels and an 8/28 tracked. These are the top of the snow blowwing world without question!

[@InTheVise]

It has electric drive motors on the tracks. So you can adjust the drive speed and direction on each track independently. Makes it turning on a dime and easy steering on this heavy machine. You can also drive the tracks without starting the gasoline engine, only running on the two batteries. Nice option if you want to move the machine around indoors.

[@scatpack440]

@In The Vise my newer 7/24 has independant steering as well and they do turn on a dime! So the gas engine is only for the auger and impeller?

[@markwegner6100]

My atd1332 does too. Gotta take it easy.

[@JohnS-er7jh]

i can't remember the model snowblower, but there is suppose to be a new design to prevent sheer pins from breaking. My neighbor has an expensive commercial grade snowblower (it's not a Honda though), and it break sheer pins all the time, and has other issues (plus the place that does maintenance charges an insane amount of money to transport/do tune ups). he doesn't have a method to haul it, nor the time to do tune ups/repairs. it has kept me from buying a snow blower, I just shovel, or in heavy storms I pay for snow plowing.

[@cowshottv5867]

The advantage of the electric track drive ie; hybrid design is what?

[@InTheVise]

Hi Cowshot tv! You can run each track in different speed, stepless, for turning. And you can also run one forward and one backwards at the same time. Turning on a dime. This is a heavy machine, it would not been possible to run and turn this machine without the hybrid design. And it is possible to move the machine around without starting the fuel engine. Nice when moving the machine around indoors.

[@johnjaco5544]

I know this is an excellent machine but I don't think I need all the bells and whistles. For the past 30 years I have been using a Honda tracked snow blower and it has been in excellent machine. I have a tractor to do all my big work.

For a driveway that size, landscaper/contractors that charges on the clock want up to 800-1000 bucks a season here in Norway, and that's barely keeping them on the level for maintenance and new acquisitions: The prices are rising. And the size of their rigs means they can only get the main driveway and a little bit along the porch, then you're left hand shoveling. He said he got a great deal on this, probably 3-4k, that's way less than what new smaller mid-range models go for with today's material shortage. And he didn't have to wait for it to be delivered. In comparison, a used tractor with a snowblower & front snow bucket, that doesn't look like a rats nest, in good shape, is 10-15k. And again, you're left hand shoveling for longer than you sit in the tractor. My own tractor was 4k this summer, and that's a used RWD 1982 Case with more than a few electrical gremlins. The inverted 3pt snowblower I have on it is family heirloom from 1987 and would have been another 3k, so that's up to 7k, 3-4k more than this Honda blower, and then theres shipping, and not including frontloader with bucket.

@@kansascityshuffle8526 Several have asked about the gas can from my videos. Maybe someone should start import it to US? Make a big profit. I have three of them, easy to use, no spill.
