Is this snow blower very loud
Asked by Lynn January 5, 2018It gets incredibly loud when the exhaust valve sticks open and the blower becomes a lawn ornament because Toro inexplicably does not make the head or valve-train components available to purchase as replacement parts.
How much does a21 inch blower weigh
Asked by JACK January 22, 201856 pounds.
Most difficult part of snow cleaning is cleaning the snow on the road side. As snow trucks cleans...
Asked by MZMN April 22, 2018To answer MZMN question, yes this snow blower is strong enough to break and clean the hardened snow from the road plow truck's wall, BUT it is not big or tall enough to do it in one shot. It takes a few back and forths to get through the wall. It has stalled on me a couple of times, but once you learn its limits, you can get the job done, with some care. The fact that I only needed to use it 6x this winter, it stores neatly (not bulky) and for the price, its a good machine. If your looking for more heavy duty, you may want a bigger one. But if all you need is limited use and something that beats shoveling, this is it. I've had this for 2 years now and no issues.
How much oil does it need?
Asked by JM December 2, 2018It takes 12 fLoz
