Buying Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025


I did a lot of research before buying this snow thrower and saw the discharge chute assembly woes others had, so I paid particular attention to that when putting it together. The small carriage bolts that hold the assembly together fit into square indentations in the plastic chute so when tightening the bolt it could easily strip the plastic. What I did was hold the bolt head firmly seated into the indent while tightening and there was no problem. The manual discharge loft adjustment is smooth yet stiff enough that it isn't affected by the snow. I could see that if this connection is stripped, the bonnet would just flop around and become nearly useless. Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

Cheap Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025


Lightweight, effective, easy to use.

Living, as I do, in Northern Massachusetts, just south of New Hampshire and in the Merrimack Valley, we expect more than just a little snow in the winter.
About 10 years ago I bought my first Toro 1800 and after all these years of dedicated effort to keep my driveway and walkways clear it finally gave up fight. Mind you now, the unit was still capable of throwing that snow, but various pieces of the superstructure finally failed due to rust and hard use.
If you generally need to deal with less than 2 feet of snow at at time and don't want to deal with gasoline and starting an engine in the cold, and don't mind trailing an extension cord (don't forget the GFCI plugs) this could be just the tool for you.

To put it in context, I use this to clear a 50 foot long 12 foot wide driveway, and about 150 feet of walkway, an except for block of ice the plows leave at the end of your driveway, it does the trick.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
