do you service ?
Asked by mike September 5, 20200
Answersis ok to clear snow in a gravel drive way
Asked by Lewis September 1, 20201
AnswerHello, Lewis. The 2X 526 SWE and our other 2-stage snow throwers can be used on gavel driveways with caution. There are adjustable skid shoes to raise the auger housing and prevent any stones from being picked up. Thank you for your question.
Blows out white smoke
Asked by Mark February 13, 20191
AnswerHi Mark. Generally, white smoke is an indication that engine oil is being burned. This can be caused by too much oil in the unit, wrong type of oil used, or if the snow thrower was recently tipped. Thank you for your question!
It says it comes with a head light so why doesn't it
Asked by Terry November 17, 20182
AnswersMine came with a headlight.
Is the chute a manual crank operation
Asked by sunshineman68 November 13, 20185
AnswersIt isn't a crank but more like a joystick. Remove the handle left right to change the direction of the shoot and the handle up down to regulate how high or low it blows out of the chute. Nice simple one-hand operation for both.
does it come with an extension cord?
Asked by rich October 8, 20183
AnswersNo it does not come with an extension cord but why would you need one? Started in the garage and if you need to start it outside mine always starts with one or two pulls
where is this engine made?
Asked by B2 October 5, 20182
AnswersIt is made in China just like almost all small engines these days.

Asked by Backache September 15, 20182
AnswersMy Husband is 6' 2" and he has no problem with this. He does not have to bend over.
Does it work on gravel or dirt driveways with hills?
Asked by kaged75 August 14, 20183
AnswersMy driveway is half concrete and half gravel and it works just fine. Also my driveway is on a hill and I have no problems.
what does SWE mean?
Asked by don May 5, 20181
AnswerHello don. The SWE basically stands for Single wheel/power steering with electric start. It basically means that you can drive with a single wheel engaged using those triggers. Thank you for your question.

January 8, 2018
Best snowblower for the Money, Have had mine for 3 years, and I always spray the chute with Silcone, I can shoot 50 ft of snow. Never used the elec start... 99 percent of the time it fires up on first pull. Prime 3 times, Full choke, and in the Run Position. Fires right up. 1 percent of the time fires on the second pull... Just went thru the Blizzard in the Boston Area. and this Snowblower cut thru the snow 14 plus inches like cutting thru butter.. NO PROBLEM !! I highly recommend this unit. the Light is amble enough, Wouldnt mind having a stronger headlight. but works for me. This is a heavy unit. need some type of ramps to put in the pickup...
This is a GREAT Snowblower!!!
March 10, 2014
This was the best money I have ever spent! The zero turning feature is the best, this unit has plenty of power and great traction, even in this heavy snow season in New Jersey it never slowed down a bit. For value, Power and Quality this snow Blower can't be beat!!!!!! I would recommend this for anyone! I'm a Cub Cadet owner for life!
Love the power steering
November 12, 2013
So many nice features for the money. Discharge shut is easy to manage with one hand and gives you a lot of options to blow. The power steering is wonderful can turn it on a dime.
