  • well I know its coming so I bought this......

    Its getting to be that time of year that makes most of us dislike winter....where I have been living the last 2 years has really been fun to say the least. I had no idea that the area I was moving to received more snow then where I was living.....a lot more, and only 13 miles away....













    It took me about 3-4 hours to get the drive done with the snow blower I have, not much bigger then a snow shovel with a 2 stroke motor on it...lol.

    So I have been on the lookout for a cheap but bigger replacement....well I found it today.....guy wanted $250 for it...and it was well worth it....but I could not feel good about paying asking price so...after a little haggling I got him down to $180. Electric start and all....and it fit into the Festy...











    This should make them snowy days a little more cheerful.......lol

    same one

    I have exactly the same one you have. The only difference is, I paid $20 for mine at a yard sale in the summer. I did not have to use mine last year. My little two stroke Toro was sufficient.

        nice machine. my dad has a little 2 stroke like yours, and it works great but it is missing the muffler so it is really loud and the neighbors hate it. so i brought over my garden tractor with a hydrostatic plow that was louder. now they dont like me at all in the winter.

          Cool , dual stage. I sold mine about a month ago. Didnt want to use in on a gravel lane, they pick up gravel and damage the impellers.. Now Im looking for a tractor.

                          lol euro, I think you and I were bitten by the same turbo bug. The one that makes you want to turbocharge everything with an engine on it.
