Description of the John Deere Dual Stage Snow Thrower 1130SE

The John Deere Dual Stage Snow Thrower 1130SE sports a large chute for increased snow capacity, and operators can control the chute direction from the dash with a new dash electric control feature.

The hand grips are heated to provide additional comfort during those extra cold days and nights when you are out blowing snow. Cold hands are no fun, especially when you have a large yard to deal with.

There is an offset halogen light to provide extra visibility after the sun sets and it is too dark to clear snow. There are also reversible skid shoes to protect your driveway, a 4-quart fuel tank,  and a tool box with a clear-out brush.

This unit comes with a fresh start fuel cap which allows you to add fuel additives to keep the fuel fresh for maximum efficiency and operation.
