Great job my friend. For people in Colorado I recommend a Honda snowblower as thee honda snowblower I've seen from other people gets though really deep snow. As far as dog bone goes the honda has a commercial gear box that I haven't seen replaced yet. Track drive is the best. Less effort. You sound exhausted.
Yeah man, I am a Honda Tech and a Honda Snowblower was what I really wanted. Cost seemed high, but now I know. This was my first snowblower, and was a sign of defeat anyways, since I can no longer keep up with shoveling. Honda has a couple breakaway pins in the impeller shaft. Dog-Bone in Honda snowblower would have been a 10-minute repair and $5 part. My guess is the torque from the EGO electric motor was too much for a roll-pin and EGO had to use that cotter pin. Even in the upgraded EGO 24" and the new EGO 28", still have the cotter pin on the impeller shaft. I sell old OEM Honda parts in my ebay store. The parts from the 24" EGO sold well on eBay. Gonna save up this summer and get a good used Honda. I saw a 30yr old Honda that did much better job than the new EGO.
Sweet!! Yeah I know I did have to save up for mine. I got the 32in and here in mn where we get what I call level 3 hard snow it's been the best decision.
Sad that in my first year of owning my EGO (2022) I’ve only used it three times including twice in one day. My neighbors were thankful as I did half my block and my yard all on one charge with the 7.5. My neighbor took care of the other half with his blower.
I had the 24" two-stage. caught a dog bone in the impeller and it blew the motor. I was probably going to catch another bone, so I went w the single-stage. Here is my vid on the failure of the 24". ua-cam.com/video/5hZ7xe7giOs/v-deo.html
@@randomrazr Its not the auger shear pins, those break-away when they should. The impeller pin is a solid cotter-pin on the EGO, other manufacturers use a breakaway roll-pin there. This causes motor failure, $300 part and complete dis-assembly. "Foreign Objects" not covered under warranty. I sell Honda parts online, so I just took the 24" apart and listed parts on ebay, sold well as I was the only one selling used EGO parts on there. Here is a vid showing teardown and slideshow of all the 24" parts. ua-cam.com/video/x6h7zXpXr90/v-deo.html
I am saving up for the new Honda Hybrid snow blower, lol. I had the EGO 24" two-stage. I was impressed with it the first year, then I hit a dog bone. Caused catastrophic impeller/motor failure, see my other EGO videos. I had the batteries and charger, so I went with the 21" single stage. If I had kept up with the big storm, the 21" model would have done better. I bent the 21" auger first use out of the box, and was waiting on the replacement during the big storm. ua-cam.com/video/5hZ7xe7giOs/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching! Be sure and subscibe for more great EGO video.

dang you would think the shear pins would have tripped first before the motor. ego warranty no help either?@@CivicWagonParts

People who get lots of snow in ft like you guys, should have the gas powered ones and 2 stadges, or one attached to your mower
