Description of the Honda Snow Blower HS928TA

You may want to review the full feature list for this snow blower above. However, we wanted to mention that this snow blower features one handed controls allowing the operator to steer the machine. While adjusting various items with the other hand including chute rotation, direction, and ground speed. Therefore, note that ground speed adjustments do not change the auger speed or throwing capabilities.

This is another really great snowblower with many features that operators will appreciate. But the only issue we can see which may not bother many buyers is the lack of an electric starter. The writer has an electric starter on his own machine, a different model, and manufacturer. For example, we might have used the electric starter a dozen times over the past 10 years.

But I just end up starting my snowblower all of the time using the pull cord. the only time I use the electric start is in a situation where I have a hard time starting it which is not often.

The other major feature is the hydrostatic transmission. Which provides a variable speed capability to match just about any kind of snow condition. Honda is known for this type of transmission.

Description of the Honda Snow Blower HS928TAS

This particular snow blower comes with a three-year warranty for both residential and commercial users.

However, most other features are pretty standard except for perhaps the de-icing feature which surrounds the engine in hot air and protects the engine from ice that might form in critical areas.

Description of the Honda Snow Blower HS1332TA

While this Honda Snow Blower model  HS1332TA does not come with an electric starter, consumers can rely on this snow blower for many years of operation. Recoil starters may not be preferred by many, however, with the automatic decompression feature, this snow blowers engine should be easy to start. We think that consumers may want to consider a machine with an AC starter for backup situations when there is a situation that causes a difficult starting problem.

Other than that one issue, this machine clears a 32-inch swath which will deal with any area quickly and efficiently. Operators can adjust the ground speed using the variable hydrostatic drive to the speed for the situation they encounter without having to adjust the engine speed or the auger speed.  Operators can also manage the engage lever for the ground speed and the engine speed with one hand while adjusting the direction of the chute with the other. They can also adjust the ground speed with this freehand at the same time.

This snow blower from Honda weighs in at 265 pounds. Let the machine do the work for forwarding motion and steering. never try to manhandle one of these machines, they are too large and heavy. It can be really easy to steer the snowblower as long as you allow the Honda Snow Blower HS1332TA to do all of the work.

The current price and specifications are subject to change and can be adjusted by the manufacturer at any time. Check with your local dealer for the latest pricing and specifications.

For example, some of the notable features include the self-propelled variable speed hydrostatic drive with infinite speed variability. Also, a tract belt instead of rubber tires which gives solid traction when you need it, 32-inch clearing width to complete those snow clearing jobs quickly, and an easy starting engine with 120 volt AC electric starter. Note that there are no batteries to support push-button starting. A recoil start is also included.

This snow blower comes with a 3 position auger for clearing snow down to the pavement, over rough ground, and for transport.  the drive and engine levers can be held down with one hand and the chute position adjusted with the other.  Ground speed is adjusted independently of auger speed.  The current MSRP price is $3399.

Description of the Honda Snow Blower HS1332TAS

This Honda Snow Blower HS1332TAS comes loaded with features.  As a result one really important feature is that the ground speed and auger speed are separate. In other words, the auger speed can be adjusted separately from the forward or reverse ground speed with the variable hydrostatic drive. Consequently, there are separate controls for the engine speed and the forward or reverse ground speeds. As a result, each can be adjusted while holding the auger engage control in place with one hand.

The only negative for this machine is that it does not have an electric start. For easy starting, you need to plug it in and depress the started button to use the AC driven starter. In addition, there is a recoil backup starter chord and there apparently is an automatic decompression feature to make starting easier.

It also comes with the standard work light for night time operation. Which is useful for consumers in rural situations or in parking lots with low light availability.

This machine comes in at 276 pounds, so you need to depend on its maneuverability rather than trying to manhandle it. It comes with a three-position auger which allows easy transport between locations. Let the snow blower do the work and not you.

Note that all specifications and features are subject to change by the manufacturer. Consequently check with your local dealer for the current up-to-date feature set and specifications of this snowblower.

Honda Hybrid Snow Blower HS1336iAS

July 21st, 2012 ernie Posted in 36 " Wide Blowers, Honda, Hybrid 4 Comments »

Honda Hybrid Snow Blower HS1336iASThis is our first review of a Hybrid snow blower and it also happens to be the first  from Honda which is also a first on this web site. We plan to review many more of the Honda machines this quarter, so stay tuned. Back to the  Honda hybrid snow blower model HS1336iAS.

Most snow blowers have a single four stroke engine that powers the auger which grinds the snow and breaks it up, the impeller which ejects or throws the snow into the air and also the drive train which moves your snow blower forward. Not so with the new Honda Hybrid Snow Blower HS1336iAS.

Electric Power

This Honda hybrid snow blower uses electricity to power two electric motors to propel the machine forward or backwards. The engine generates electricity and charges two on board batteries which in turn provides power to the electrical motors which rive the machine forward or backwards. It is a hybrid snow blower for this reason.

Aside from the fact this is one of the larger snow throwers, they claim that this machine will run quieter and smoother, be more efficient on fuel and contribute less pollution to the environment. It is controlled by an intelligent system that apparently delivers a 19% improvement in the fuel economy area.

We cannot support or detract from these claims since this is a brand new machine to the North American market and only time will tell as to it’s improvements and reliability. We did see prices of $7999, which is certainly up there for a snow thrower. Do you really need this hybrid technology in a snow blower? Also we wonder about all of the added technology and how long it will last under harsh conditions. Some snow blowers stand up very well, however you only know that once it has been tested by a North American winter.

Honda Hybrid Snow Blower HS1336iAS – Specifications:

  • Drive by wire controls
  • Intelligent technology controls motor speed, power output based on need
  • Reversible 2-position skid shoes
  • 24V DC starter
  • Electronic indicators to track vital information for monitoring of all operating systems
  • Heavy-duty, serrated augers to break ice and automatically lift in reverse when automatic or semi-automatic modes are engaged
  • Convenient electric transport mode for relocating unit from garage or storage unit to work areas
  • Electric starting via two heavy-duty batteries – offers a clean, no hassle solution for starting the engine
  • 36″ clearing width, 23″ clearing height
  • Discharges snow up to 62.3 ‘
  • Clears up to 83.0 tons/hour
  • Runs up to 2.2 hours per tank of gasoline
  • Pedal-adjustable auger height
  • Control panel designed for ease-of-use
  • Front cover integrating tough and stable design
  • Auto choke standard
  • Rear cover integrated with tool box

Engine:

Powered by the intelligent, commercial-grade Honda iGX390 engine to offer motor-track operation

Transmission: Two parallel electric motors control the track drive forward and reverse  propulsion. Self-propelled, infinitely variable electric drive. Track drive  provides excellent  traction.

Warranty:

  • 3 year residential / commercial warranty

Description of the Honda Hybrid Snow Blower HS1336iAS

Aside from this particular snow blower being a hybrid machine, it does come with a lot of features that may appeal to many buyers. These are listed above, however several notable features are the drive by wire approach which means it takes no more effort to steer this machine than pressing a button. It is also electric start, so no tugging on a pull chord and it clears 36 inches of snow width at a time.

This is a large powerful machine with excellent traction, clearing width and snow throwing distance of up to 62 feet, which is huge for this size of machine. If you have a large area, you will appreciate the speed at which you get the job done with this machine.

The information we read indicates that there are electronic indicators to keep you posted on various components. However they did not indicate what these were. We assume electrical generation, battery charging, engine speed, perhaps oil pressure, however we have no information on these areas.

This is a new machine to this market. W would really appreciate your comments from people who have purchased this machine. Having used a snow blower myself of a smaller size, I can appreciate how controlling this machine using buttons rather than leavers and manual strength will be a huge improvement.
