General Comments – Stage 28-Inch Snow Thrower

Having used an older machine for many years there are a couple of features that really appeal to the writer. One item is the heated handles. On really cold days with lots of snow to remove, your hands can become quite cold even with the warmest of mits. Heated handles would make it much more comfortable. Storage is an issue for me as well. I barely have enough room to get my car in beside the snow blower. Folding handles means it takes less room and is easier to store. Wish I had these two features.

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.

This is a large 28-inch wide snowblower so it will clear your driveway in a hurry. With the tract drive most situations, even on ice, should be no problem.

It does have an electric starter. However, you need to attach an electric cord to start the engine. Then disconnect the cord once it is going. In addition, there is also a manual backup pull chord that can also be used. I have a model like this from another manufacturer. 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. As a result, they use them in most if not all of their snow blowers and other residential products as well.

Description of the Honda Snow Blower HS928TAS

This particular snow blower comes with a three-year warranty for both residential and commercial users. Many manufacturers are unwilling to provide the same warranty to both types of users due to the heavier load that a commercial user applies. 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.

Honda continues to update snow blower models, adding features, etc every year. We are attempting to showcase these models as they come out. check back often for updates and new reviews. Your comments are also appreciated as well since our readers really appreciate other consumers’ experiences.

Delivery

Most customers will have to arrange for the delivery of their new snow blowers. They are far too big to take home in your car. You will need a trailer, rent a van or arrange for delivery by the store that you are purchasing the snow blower from. There will be a charge for this service. But it will be the easiest way to arrange for your new snow blower to be delivered to your home. Some stores will rent their vans/trucks to you for a very low price for 2 hours for you to take your purchases home. Lowes and Home Depot do this as well as others.

Accessories

Most snow blowers can be purchased with tire chains to provide extra traction in icy situations. In addition, snow shields are also a good idea. Especially if you want to protect yourself from windy conditions and snow being blown back at you from the wind.

Safety & Operation

A snow blower is a powerful machine and should be treated with safety in mind. Carefully read all of the safety guidelines in the manual prior to operating the machine for the first time. Also, follow these guidelines to ensure that both you and the machine do not have an accident.

Prior to starting your snowblower the first time each day, perform a quick walk around check of the machine to ensure there are no loose parts and no leaking fluids. Check the engine oil to ensure that it is at the correct level as specified by the manual. Top up if necessary. Fill the fuel tank while the engine is cold and prior to using the machine. If you do spill fuel, wait until it has fully evaporated prior to starting the engine. Never spill fuel on a hot engine to avoid fires and always fill the fuel tank outdoors to avoid any possibility of vapors going into your house.

Finally never point the chute in the direction of people, buildings, or cars to avoid any possible damage and accidents. Sometimes chunks of ice can be thrown at high speed from the chute and if they hit something, it can cause a lot of damage.

Never work on your snow blower with the engine running

This seems like an obvious thing but people still do it and are hurt, sometimes badly, every year. Always turn it off before you do any maintenance, add fuel, check the oil, fix the chains on the tires, or clear the augers of snow.

Clearing Snow from the Augers – this is where lots of people are hurt every year. Before you try to clear snow that is plugging the augers, shut the engine off to avoid sudden turning of the augers or the impeller which could cause lots of damage to fingers, hands, and arms.

Use Snow Clearing Tool – This is the really important part. You have plugged the augers with snow, you have shut the machine off and now you are trying to clear the snow away. Never place your hands inside the augers to get at the snow. Use a broom handle if you have an old machine or the snow clearing tool that came with your newer machine to clear the snow. You can also purchase these tools from most stores as an extra if you break yours or if you have an older machine that does not have one. This is the safe way to clear snow from around the augers and the impeller.

Sometimes the snow is so compacted, that as you clear it away, it allows the augers to turn as a result of built-up tension in the pulley mechanism. Better to have a broom handle stuck in there than your hands!

Most new snow blowers come with a snow clearing tool which you can use for this purpose. Always use this tool and never use your hands. If you have an older machine, an old broom handle will do the trick as well.

Maintenance

Like all snow blowers or snow throwers, maintenance is important for your machine to operate at a peak level for many years. Change the engine oil regularly, check the belts for tightness, change the spark plug as required, and grease any spots outlined in the manual. If you need to leave the snow blower outside all year round, cover the machine with a proper cover to keep it looking new and avoid deterioration of the tires and metal components.

Safety & Operation

A snow blower is a powerful machine and should be treated with safety in mind. Carefully read all of the safety guidelines in the manual prior to operating the machine for the first time and follow these guidelines to ensure that both you and the machine do not have an accident.

Prior to starting your snowblower the first time each day, perform a quick walk around check of the machine to ensure there are no loose parts and no leaking fluids. Check the engine oil to ensure that it is at the correct level as specified by the manual. Top up if necessary. Fill the fuel tank while the engine is cold and prior to using the machine. If you do spill fuel, wait until it has fully evaporated prior to starting the engine. Never spill fuel on a hot engine to avoid fires and always fill the fuel tank outdoors to avoid any possibility of vapors going into your house.
