Yard Machines 31AM63EF700 26-inch 208cc OHV 4-Cycle Gas Powered 6-Speed Self-Propelled Two-Stage Snow Thrower With Electric Start (Non-CARB Compliant)


I have the older version of this machine. The engine on the older model is rated at 8hp. Here is the down and dirty on the machine.

Pros: Power - able to cut through drifted snow 24" deep, Electric start - plug it in and push a button and away it goes, 6 forward speeds - gives you the right speed for the job, Price - good value for the money

Cons: Marginal Quality.

Bottom line - this machine is a good value for the dollar. After 4 Montana winters it still is going strong.

Toro 38182 CCR Powerlite 325E Single Stage Gas Snowblower w/ Electric Start


I am a 60 year old woman and I inherited this little monster from my dad. It is up to me to clear my own drive and I have been using this practically 17 year old thrower for two years. I finally burned out the electric start feature but can usually make it start with the cord.

I feel so happy and powerful doing my own work. I have challenged it many times with bad drifts and wet snow. Persistence works.. Mine needs service but maybe I will upgrade... All I do know is that it has been great. I was discouraged by the maintenance costs and opted not to afford what was needed and recommended. It worked well, anyway.

Classic Accessories 52-002-010401-00 Deluxe Snow Thrower Cab


This product is one of those items I should have bought years ago.
I did have to do some work to mount it however. Even though I had the mounting brackets as low as I could go it still was way too tall. I'm not short but even a seven footer would fit comfortably inside it. I had to drill new holes in the supplied upright bars to lower it. One tip I'll give is to take the whole upper frame that they made for easy removal in the house to install the cover. That is if you don't have the luxury of a heated garage like me. In the cold it just would not stretch over the frame to mount. Once it was warm it installed with no problem.
A must have product if you snow blow.

Suncast SK4000 12-Inch Kid's Snow Shovel With 34-Inch Resin Handle


On 12/3/07 I ordered snow shovels for my Grandchildren for Christmas. On 12/13/07 I received an email from CrazyDavesToolShed stating "Your Order Has Been Canceled". Why did it take them 10 days to realize they couldn't fill the order? Amazon was made aware of this cancellation also, so if Amazon does business with these types of un-professional companies I think I will just have to look somewhere else in the future to make my on-line purchases besides Amazon.
I believe CrazyDavesToolShed should be sanctioned by Amazon for this type of un-professionalism.
I am forced by Amazon's Review Program to give 1 star, which is undeserved.
