    Nothing but Toro mowers and blowers for us. That looks like a 2 stage big one, nice.

    I bought the last 18" Toro two stroker from our dealer years back not available now, goes great.

    If the snow is too high a guy two houses up has a big one.

    it's self-driven adjustable speed, joystick on the handle to adjust the direction,

    electric start...213 cc engine, a nice size... it's balanced really nice for turns.

    The bigger ones have grip levers that you can turn one wheel off for turns, etc..

    those are about a hundred pounds heavier.

    Can't wait to try it out. Maybe I'll rent a snow machine !

    I for one would be happy if I don't have to use my snowblower once this year

    I got a 28 inch Poulan pro for this winter. I pretty much guarantee that means little or no snow

    I needed parts for my MTD snowblower and was pleased to see that it is a Cleveland company. 🙂

    ordered online - to get all ready for an onslaught of probably nothing? El Nino or La Nina?

    Toro is a leftist Minnesota company,and they sell em at Target just sayin

    We used to use the above snow removal apparatus for decades, my father never believed in snow blowers but then we got smart.

    Our 18" Toro two stroker snowblower is fantastic, got the last one from our dealer before they were completely phased out, now environmentally prohibited! You still have to mix the gas and oil but that's no big deal plus they run much better than any four cycle machines particularly in cold weather.

    And my wife loves to use it, smart eh?

    We also have an 18" electric Toro which we've had for decades also outperforms any gas snowblower, the only hassle is the cord but is OK for quick cleaning.....but we prefer the two stroker most times.

    I have this Craftsman snow blower. Electric start is awesome. Just plug it in and push the button. I have had it for 5+ years and never had a problem.

    I saw on the local news that exactly where my brother lives up there in the Cleveland area snow belt his town got 32" of snow!

    Meanwhile we got about 1"-2" here about 60 miles SE of his locale in fact we won't see that all winter......no jinx there. 😕

    oh, man, got to use our snowblower twice now. It is absolutely awesome. I go over to the neighbor's driveway and

    keep running it, it's so cool. Adj self drive, powerful shooting of snow - even really wet snow gets

    5-7 '. Otherwise, it gets up to 10-15' with the dryer snow. So easy to do a driveway. I just wish

    our driveway was longer now. lol
