Snowblower Trouble

fatlazyless · 02-12-2021, 03:10 PM

Bought it new from Lowe's and it originally had two rims with tubeless snowblower tires. One tire went flat a number of times, maybe five times, so's I removed the rim & tire, got a tube from Lowe's, took it to Rhino Bike Works in Plymouth where one bike guy installed the tube except he put the tire back on with the tread going backwards. Labor charge - $10.00. The backwards tread doesn't really make any difference but now the tube is flat at the tube stem, after maybe three years use.

Plan to retire the TroyBilt 24 for now and take a good look at the Ariens 24 for now because only Ariens is The King of Snow.

Meanwhile, this SnoBoss 26" shovel is definitely getting it done very very well, and with a lot less noise than a snowblower.

..... is a combination pusher - lifter - drag-er .... with two handles for balanced lifting and an upper long handle that presses against your chest just like a hard pushing, farm donkey.

......... with the SnoBoss ....... you become the BOSS! ..........
