Snow Blowers

This Honda Snow Blower HS1332TC snowblower is another one of the variable speed hydrostatic transmission types that allows the operator to match the ground speed with the snow load and enables throwing snow up to 56 feet away depending on conditions. They claim you can remove up to 65 tons of snow an hour which is pretty amazing. Most consumers do not have that much snow to clear!

This machine comes with tracks instead of wheels to provide maximum traction in all conditions. Operators can clear 32 inches wide at a pass making this machine very efficient in clearing snow from long driveways or large areas. It also comes with a work light for night time operation.

No Electric Starter

The one negative about this particular machine is that it does not have an electric starter. Operators must start it using the standard recoil starter by pulling on a starter cord. They do claim they have an easy start engine.

Operators can operate the snowblower by one hand while adjusting the chute direction with the other hand. This is a great advantage when you want to minimize your time blowing snow and do not want to stop to adjust the direction that you are blowing snow. We find this Honda snowblower an excellent snow blower and they are currently listed for $4199. It comes with a 36-month warranty for both residential and commercial operators which is unusual in the industry. Most commercial warranties are much reduced compared to residential warranties.
