Snow Blowers

If you have a lot of snow to clear and a large area, then the MTD Gold Snow Thrower H55LH with a 30 inch wide clearing width may be the machine for you. A 357 cc engine with a 21 inch high intake and 30 inch width will clear a lot of snow quickly. Both the augers and the impeller are 12 inches in diameter.

It also comes with 6 forward and 2 reverse gears to match the speed you are comfortable with as well as the snow load that you have to deal with. With lots of snow you will want to go a little more slowly, while with light snow falls you can motor along at a comfortable walking speed. Let the machine do the work at your speed rather than trying to manhandle a heavy snow blower.

This snow thrower also comes with heated handle grips to keep your hands warm in the coldest temperatures. How many times have you been outside in -30degree temperatures with your hands freezing while blowing snow. This has to be one of the best features that has been added to this snow blower. Another great feature is the steerable wheel drive with the click of trigger. No need to try to manhandle the snow blower, just click the trigger to change direction.

Delivery

Most customers will have to arrange for delivery of their new snow blowers. They are far too big to take home in your car, so 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 if you want to protect yourself from windy conditions and snow being blown back at you from the wind.

Safety & Operation

This MTD Gold  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 the MTD Gold Snow Thrower H55LH 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.

MTD Gold Snow Thrower – 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.
