Seller had it to my house in less than two days. The headlight is not working and I will contact the company about that. The forward/reverse cable needed adjustment. The snow shoot makes a lot of racket when turning it and I wonder if it may wear out quickly. Some of the controls are in inconvenient places compared to other snowblowers I've owned. I started it up and blew some snow in my yard and it appears to have good power and throws snow a good distance. It was less expensive than comparable sized machines and so far I'm optimistic about the purchase. The headlight started working on it's own so I can't explain what the initial problem was.

Great value on a hard working snow blower.

I know we needed it sooner and had to have skids come in separate. I'm sure we will be happy with the snow blower. Thanks

... this is listed as having electric start, which it does not.
Took 4 hrs to easily assemble, but I imagine it was mostly due to my assembly being done in a 4x4, dimly lit space in a packed 9 degree garage.
Shipping was faster than I was informed and was a day later than tracking said it was going to arrive. All in all, 9 days from IL to WI.
I havent used it yet other than a test run to circulate oil, my anti-manual labor boyfriend cleared half the driveway and said it was a beast while smiling but stopped because the tire came loose and I'm the handy one.

Upon reviewing the situation I found what you see in my pictures. Aparently there was no bolt securing the tires together. I dont know what to do. The manual doesn't list the size of the missing bolt. Now I have to take the tires into menards and find one. Sooo... not happy!

I've calmed down, the replacement bolt turned out to be 5/16, 3/4". Be sure to get a large washer.

My neighbor asked me for the link to order one herself. We are both custodians at a university so we are discerning shoppers from state purchased equipment. I've even shared the ink with my boss as they've been looking for a 2 stage for 12 campus buildings. Sadly they cant purchase as amazon isnt an approved supplier.

This is a beast of a piece of equipment. Chains would help with tire slippage, but I'm impressed enough to give this 5* even though I'd prefer to do 4 due to the bolt.

Before purchasing I shopped around. This model equivalent was $699@menards and $999@my local lawn and snow equipment retailer.

This is the best buy on the market.

Ease of use. Worked well.
