..... Honda $nowblowers?

fatlazyless · 03-19-2019, 04:01 PM

Talking about Honda snowblowers, today-March 19-Tuesday, the Home Depot in Tilton has 'zactly one snowblower left for sale ....... a brand new Honda 9hp-28"-tracked snowblower with price reduced 25% from about $2450 to about 1950.

For the mega-millionaire who is very particular about removing the snow ..... just so!

I would buy it except it's about $2000 more than I want to pay, and I just got a 21" single stage Craftsman with a Honda motor in basically new condition for $150! ..... that only weighs about 65-lbs.

That Honda down in Tilton is brand new, is resting on a wood pallet, and looks like what the U.S. Navy would get if they had to remove all the snow from the top deck of a submarine ..... a Navy quality snowblower, except it is red and black, so would have to get re-painted in battleship gray ...... and get a snorkel installed for under water, snow blowing ........ and anchors away!

It would be a lot easier for the submarine to just dive and wash the snow off with all that salt water. No gas engine running, no pollution, no risk of injury to the operator.

The Honda HS-50 snowblowers have disc drive instead of the an automatic transmission that the newer ones have. It could be that he is having problems with the disc drive that is either out of adjustment or the rubber on the drive wheel is worn. When this happens it won't go thru heavy snow or not move at all. Just take the bottom plate off off and look at the disc.
I had an HS-50 and that is the only thing that went wrong with it.
