IS IT WORTH THE PRICE TAG? The 2024 Honda HS1332ATD Snowblower in Action after a Snowstorm in Alaska
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 чер 2024
- After years of waiting, I'm finally able to get the best snowblower on the market, the Honda HS1332ATD. Let's see what this thing can do after an Alaskan snowstorm and I'll give you my honest opinion in the end. We'll also put an Ego snowblower to the test, test out Heattrak heated mats to melt snow, and end the day going to Alyeska Resort to go skiing for free on Santa Ski Free day. Enjoy!

From a fellow spine injured ski person who refused to quit, I support you!
Well, of course ! It’s a Honda for Pete’s sake.
Who’s Pete ?😂
Jesus 's buddy, they used to drink beers together and chase women. Saint Peter ring a bell?@@NickStemple
In the realm of whimsical tales, an unexpected trio unfolds-Jesus, Saint Peter, and a Honda snow blower. Imagine, amidst laughter and camaraderie, they share moments over a frosty beer, their laughter echoing through the air. Playful banter and shared stories weave a tapestry of humor, as they embark on adventures that blend the divine with the everyday. It's a lighthearted and goofy narrative that adds a touch of unexpected joy to the imagination.😁😁😁🤣@@markkeller1778
I’ve owned a few Honda motorcycles, and they are incredible machines!
They aren’t built like they were, since the newer shroud update the last few years. Like their mowers they are using cheap parts. Still charging insane prices though.
I'm retired and here I sit watching you work (and play) your butt off but it's fun because I can tell that's how you thrive. I really admire that. ❤
@7passionstar -- Congratulations on your retirement.
@@Kefoo_ Thank you! 😁
Having lived in Michigan my entire life, I'm somewhat accustomed to cold. But snowblowing in a tshirt? Makes me cold just watching you.
I was just thinking the same thing. 😅
Yup. What my mom used to say, "Put a sweater on, you're making me feel cold."
Theres always that one guy in shorts or a tshirt that needs to try to show theyre tough. lol
you are not that young either !!
You get used to it. Central Canada here. Winters are roughly the same here temperature as in Anchorage.
I don’t know what’s more impressive, the snowblower or Timmy snow blowing in a
t-shirt!
The Honda snowblower I had for 10 years was the most reliable thing I ever bought. 1 pull, never failed until burned with my cabin. RIP honda 1332. I miss it more than the cabin.
Hi Timmy
I've been watching your content for a minute now and I really enjoy it brother.
The reason I'm sending you this message, I have been a carpenter now for about 43 years.
I have been the one running jobs that I have worked on for better than 35 years.
Seeing how you framed in your porch right under your threshold on that door that you're laying those mats on to melt the ice I thought I might give you some wonderful knowledge.
Always under all circumstances always build your deck at least 2 inches below the threshold of any doorway going to the outside. This will save you so much wood rot damage and weather seeping into your house especially with piling snow outside your doorways.
And with the living in Alaska I would probably recommend that you do 3 inches it's just a small step into the house but it's going to keep that snow how it will hold moisture well up from the bottom of the snow from getting under your doorway and rotting the wood.
After you complete your deck and your decking on top of it you simply put a one or a 2X piece of wolmanized under your threshold to give it the support that it's so desires.
And please let me add if you will, before you set that door in the hole put you a piece of flashing across the bottom bend it down on the outside bend it up on the inside that it sits against the front of your door and just give it a bend on the edges and crimp those hard to work with areas tightly together and give you a good piece of silicone on those before you set your door in the opening along with silicone under the door for weather related blowing of air. On the inside of your door just place a small piece of metal
Just a quarter inch or so. Carpet or tile with easily hide this from eyes view if needed.
I am always happy to give a young lad some good advice in carpentry when I have the chance such as yourself.
😊
hey tim, GC in Upstate NY here. In reference to your roofline ice issue, I think the heated pads are a good start. But the larger issue is the corner where different rooflines meet. If you are going to get a renter in there you probably should address that in the summer when more accessible. Looks like the ice/snow could give and fall directly onto whoever is walking. This could be triggered by something as simple as slamming the door shut. Not entirely sure what a good solution is, maybe an iceguard. Anyway, just my two cents. Love the video, the new snowblower is an absolute monster.
Here in Norway we have similar weather conditions. And over here when we see this kind of ice coming forming on the roof line, we almost always conclude that there is too much heat coming in contact with the roof on the inside - in other words bad insulation. When you have snow on the roof it insulates very good, and you need pretty warm weather for it to really start dripping by itself, and then forming ice. So this is probably melting from underneat. Just a thought.
The solution would be if he just enlarged the deck roof so it goes over the stairs and balcony... He can still do that.
Hi Timmy, I'm new to your channel. Been sick for 2 wks and the channel came up in recommendations. Binge watched bunches of episodes. Enjoyed them. Loved your dad's cabin too. Really awesome cabin. It's been really fun watching what you get up to over there across the miles. I'm in the UK myself so definitely another world. First day back at work and my car was all iced up real early... but I didn't complain after watching you in the snow so much. 😂 Amazing how your channel and antics reach so far, and how you can make someone's day a bit lighter for them by just being you. So thanks Timmy👍 Really looking forward to see how the house goes and seeing some more road trips. I felt really proud of your truck.. 😂..yeah, I know that sounds a bit crazy, but just the way she always starts like a faithful old horse ready to carry you endlessly around 😂 always generally starting up against the odds. You really are a genius Timmy, I can't imagine how you know how to do so many things. ...er, fancy forgetting your head mount or chest mount for skiing! But you just filmed anyway no problem for you.😅 Good video, taking us along for the ride today..It is lovely there. Those heat pads.. grt idea! Well, hope you have another nice hot coffee or 3 (😂) and we will all see you next time👍🙋🇬🇧
All true words& I can respect this girl , she sounds legit. Ca . Chicks are pretty dam fake . Soo ready to move to Oregon .
Nice, welcome!!!
@@TruckHouseLife 👍☺️
It's always the same story with anything Honda. Very expensive, but always the brand others try to imitate and gauge their products against. I like your style, as you do everything all of us wish we could do, and casually mention you broke your back and suffer pain from that. You never use it as an excuse. Great channel, and I look forward to your next adventure.
But good quality when you save up the money and it will last and last. Good strategy. I do the same in my elderly sedentary retirement with clothes, shoes, cars etc. 👍🏻God bless!
I meant “buy” not “but”. 🤦🏻♀️😆
I’ve seen 30 year old Ariens throw snow further.
When it comes to snow, everyone is trying to imitate Ariens.
Timmy, watching you blow the snow in your yard in what had to be a maximum of 30 degrees in a short-sleeved t-shirt was killing me. I used to live in Anchorage and I know there is no way I could have done that without falling into a hypothermic coma.
Love the heated stair pads!
I have a 14 year old , 14.5 Hp , craftsman 30 inch cut , steerable with heated hand grips . Has NOT failed me yet either !!
I got ran over by a Honda Odyssey one time (ATV NOT VAN) and I still would always support spending ridiculous money on a Honda. It's always worth it ❤❤
Timmy,
So glad you are part of our lives (I hope I can speak for most all of your Subscribers). You are so very comfortable being solo in front of your camera and in your content - that is admirable. If you don't already feel it - please know that you are not alone in your adventures and this recently-new Subscriber appreciates every opportunity to share your experiences with you. You are so welcoming and have great energy. Thank you.
Many (if not most) of us are not as adventurous or capable of the same as you. However, you are an inspiration on so many fronts. "Cervical stenosis" - I had to look that up. The challenges you've been through physically are no match for you mentally. That should be a lesson and inspiration to all of us.
G
If I can’t sleep I watch this guy I pass right out without charging my phone
Next you need a 3 or 4 car garage and storage building to get all your vehicles and stuff under cover.
I cried seeing you ski it gives me hope for my knees. I am so happy that you have continued progressing. Judy
Yes it's a Honda!!! It's always worth it.
Timmy, my husband and I are Alaska enthusiasts and admirers and we just wanted to say you are a badass. We live in Texas and cannot believe you are out there snow plowing without a coat!!!
I'm going to go ahead and give you another little tip as far as putting in your doors. If you know what you're going to use on your finished flooring, you might want to compensate that on the height that you set your door off the floor so you won't have to worry about your door swinging your rug out from in front of it after everything is done.
So if you were going to put the 3/4 inch flooring down on your finished floor you would want to put a piece of half inch plywood underneath your door before it is set in place. And so on and so forth.
If you were going to put tile in front of your doorways you would want to compensate for your backer board and your tile sitting against the front of your
Threshold, this will be depend on the materials you are using of course.
Like I said you always want your door to flow past your rug that you may have in front of it on your finish job.
Justin Moore recommendations from a professional Carpenter.
Have a great day brother,enjoyed your video today.
Excellent recommendations! Hope he reads your comnent! Very valuable!
That’s one awesome snow blower Timmy. My Dad had one with the tracks on it the only thing he learned about it was if you leave it outside it would freeze to the ground so he parked it on a pallet. Those heat pads sure have come along way over the years. House is coming along great. Keep up the good work son.
I took over my family's 130 farm here in Michigan, I literally have 4 of those little chainsaws!! I love using one to get low branches when I'm on the tractor running the brush hog (when there isn't 2 feet of snow on the ground), kudos to whoever thought of that. Love you Timmy!!! Stay warm, be safe!!
Tim,
I’m a Mainer & I bought the same EGO snowblower a few years ago to go along with my big ‘ol Ariens gas powered snow destroying beast.
I got it so my lucky wife and/or daughter can now share in all the fun of clearing the wet, heavy snow we get here in Maine during the last few months of winter.
God, they’re the luckiest girls alive - some dudes but jewelry but, down deep, we all know that every woman would prefer power tools!!!
The EGO is great!
It works really well, has excessive power and is light, quiet & very maneuverable, but the batteries die too quickly (I may need to make a warranty return for at least one of them).
That said, I’m not sure it’ll last as long as my Ariens - it’s built out of some sort of rugged plastic but just doesn’t feel as durable or bullet proof as the good old metal, combustion engine beast!
Thnx Tim for taking me armchair skiing & driving thru snow town, luv it! God bless you & yours for 2024
That Honda snowblower is a beast! Like the heated stair mats too. Free ski with Santa!
T-shirt Timmy at it again 😂😂
Honda has earned my respct. In all my life Honda products have been reliable and quality across the board. A benchmark for all companies to aim for..
I live in Kansas and will probably never need a snowblower. And yet I found myself watching the entirety of this video. Thoroughly enjoying your content, Alaskans are wild.
Hi Timmy, I too broke my back and a year ago I started an on line physical therapy program by some company my insurance company set me up with called Sword. It’s been life changing and my back feels so much better. I ski a lot now. Take care
You should look into building an over hang or cover, over the porch area. You can have a space for things left outside yet not snowed on
Here’s a tip,I clap the traction handle so I just use the hydro stick.works like a charm
Your channel is great! Wish I could pack up and move somewhere so much simpler. Not easier….. but simpler.
Honda are the best over all their brands
Honda, the highest of quality for the last 50 years!!! The mark that all others seek of obtain.
I have an HS80! Handed down after my grandfather died. Still the best snowblower in the neighborhood!
Gucci Blower! Those tracks remind me of my old Noma Canadiana. If you have never used a blower with tracks you are missing something. They are the thing.
It's hard to believe I'd be jealous of a snow blower but with 7" in Nashville it's the truth. Glad to see you rotated the shed 90. Was wondering when you'd do that haha. And that garage door is sick!
I really love the whole matching big cabin and little cabin thing 😂 so awesome
About the seatbelt, take a hanger from anywhere that has two clips for hanging pants, cut one of the clips off and us it on the seatbelt it will let it be loose on you chest or neck. I have several in my car I use it because of breast cancer surgery. Try it, take care
Been running my Honda Snowblower in Maine since 1991. Bulletproof and 100% reliable
Santa's Ski Free! ROFL!! I was laughing so hard at that.
Snow blowing in a t-shirt!💖😍
Morning Tim! Mary Charles is here today. We’ll be watching! 👧🏻😘💘
Hey you!
That’s a real man snowblowing in short sleeve with no coat…my kinda man.
You are a worker, I'll give you that!
Great video, huge Honda Snowblower fan. It’s funny how we Alaskans are so proud of our snow removal tools. If you’re running a Honda you’ve made it in life.
Your such a breath of fresh air. Great content as usual.. so dedicated, and skiing segment with no helmet and no poles just to hold camera.. stay safe
much love
~❤
Lol love the cotton ball Santa beard...ingenious 😂
Mr Timmy ❤ build your dream home 🌎 boom boom ba 🎉
I’ve always wanted to try and make an elevator when I had a two story home, never got around to it but I had the desire and parts at the time . Now at my age and health it’s one story only. Why did I mention an elevator, just looking at those stairs had me gasping for a breath ,smile …..Love your uploads brother.
Just take your time. Don't force yourself. If you force yourself and make yourself hurt then it will be difficult trust me. I have bad knees it hurts every time I get up from a sitting position or sitting down. I totally fill your pain.
Not knocking your Honda blower at all. I grew up in Michigan many, many years ago. My dad bought what I think was an MTD blower (for me?) to keep the driveway and paths to the barn and dog kennel cleaned. It was self propelled, had forward and reverse, a simple chute adjust lever for direction and height. It didn't throw as far as yours, but I was many times throwing snow 2-4 feet deep. I do like that Honda, but since I live in S. Georgia now, I'm glad you have use for it. BTW, I have an old Army buddy in Anchorage that has met and talked with you.
I'm from Georgia. We hardly ever see snow . I think it's funny that people who always get snow talk about how much it snowed. 🤣
The good ole days of skiing through the parking lot to the truck. Here in Utah when we get enough snow we are no longer allowed to or we get our pass yanked. Good Ole Vail.
Tim, why haven't you eliminated the drip before it gets onto the steps, with guttering? Placing heated cables along the rooflines and into the downspouts seems a much better use of electricity. And I'm always surprised that your windshield remains cracked - here in Illinois/Chicago area that would get you ticketed.
Nice move on the roof top snowblower shed.. you can see out that window again 😃
Hey Tim they make electric roof lines so the ice don’t build up by your door and it will get rid of the ice sickles too.
I’m in Texas where we have had temp’s in the teens this week (warming now), and I see you in a T-SHIRT working outdoors 🥶. 🤯 I am torn between awe and suggesting you need mental help. Kudos Sir, you are way more a man than I am. 😊
Timmy you’re spoiling us with all these videos!! 🤘🏼
Must show he is true Alaskan snow blowing in a T shirt. A snow blower is an awesome machine it being a Honda a Toro or in my case an old Lawn Boy.
thank you, great video. Being 58, I would never put a flat roof on a building in Alaska . That's a full-time job. Beautiful deck tho. ✌️
Your home will be amazing when it's done!
I used to ski every chance I got. Then three knee, two back, and ankle surgeries I'm done. Sure do miss it.
Very nice house you built and what a view! Also nice having the snowblower on the roof, sure beats shoveling all that! Oh and a very nice honda!
Sorry that small bend on the inside going up is just from that one piece of metal that you lay in the bottom of your doorway. Have a great day brother.😊
A thought. I also follow a couple that live high in the mountains of Utah. Lots of winter! They have built a cabin, a huge garage and are now putting an addition onto the cabin. They had a baby in there.
I know nothing. They bought, what they call the candle heater the first year. This better enabled them to continue working on the inside all winter. I have no idea how much it cost but they’ve used it two winters and it’s up and going this winter. Just a thought.
Best snowthrower made! I’ve been using Hondas for over 25 years, they’re excellent machines!
The EGO might work well on your roof deck but it sucks in deeper snow on the ground. It’s too light the front end won’t stay on the ground
Try a tracked snowblower before u buy, tracks are not for everyone. Great vids and the house is looking great.
Santas Skee Free day!! that is hilarious!! great video!!
I like your home. My mom always had a red door. She passed away in 2022 and I am buying her house and the first thing I am going to do is paint over the red door. Your dad's cabin is really beautiful. When I started watching the video I said to myself he has to live in Blue Ridge. I live a couple hours from there. It's a beautiful place to live. Alaska is gorgeous but I am to old for the cold. I want to plan a trip out there. Be safe.
I have a Honda blower,it's been a good machine had it for years.I now do most of my work with my front loader now.
nice!
Liked AF!!! Sending some Florida weather wishes your way!!! Ifn your ever in the space coast area, you know a guy with full hook-ups!
That unit launches the snow!
Timmy throwing that snow into the ocean from there!
As A Old City Guy, I Just Love, Love Your Channel. I Sure Hope I Get To Alaska Before I Kick The Bucket. Greetings🌴From San Diego.
Thanks:)
Snow blowing with a t-shirt on. No coat. 😂😂😂 A true Alaskan. 🙌👍💯
U got All The Cool gadgets! That Honda a beast! Enjoy the content 🍻
Hay Timmy. I hope you're little bird is doing well 💗 Its hard to loose a little feather baby prayers to you and your family.
Thank you for a really fun video. That snow blower is massive.
Great job skiing! Beautiful country!♥️
Great to see you skiing again Tim 🎉
Well Tim I’ve had one of those track drive 13-32 Hondas for 12 years now. No power Shute and the only way you can steer it is muscle. No led light. You know old school. I have literally hundreds of hours on it now. All I have replaced that has worn out is bearings in the impeller and the main auger. Plus I burned a belt before I paved my driveway when a rock got jammed in the auger. Until today lol. I went to pull start it and the cord wouldn’t return. So I took off the pull cord assy, dropped it off at the dealer. It has electric start so I told them no hurry. I just never used the electric start because it pull starts so easy. All I’ve done for maintenance is change the oil. Though now 12 years later at age 67 it does make me sore sometimes muscling it around. Though less refined than yours it for sure throws snow just as far.
nice!
Love watching you is there anything you can't do WOW stay safe.😊
You are such a GREAT SPORT‼️👍
Honda tracked snowblowers are great. I had one for years in the Mat Su and never let me down. I moved a few miles with a bigger driveway so I got an old plow truck. I used to lock the level down with a small bungee so I just had to steer it. They track pretty straight on their own.
The way I run the honda is to only use the trigger on the left side, pulling it going forward to turn left, pull it going backwards to turn right, that leaves my right hand free to use the hydrostatic and chute controls.
Always waiting for a video from you
Thank you for taking us along with you
That's awesome you take the time to do that. Love from Ohio 💟
I’m in Durango, CO and have a Honda snow blower…freaking love it!!
Timmy doesn't play, he buys top of the line everything! You get what you pay for!!
@@steveo6034 Honda snow blowers are worth every penny!
I’m positive this is the first time I’ve seen someone slow blowing in a tee shirt! 😂
Love the videos!!
Another cool vid. Thanks Timmy!
Great video! Love seeing you have fun, after all that hard work! Lol! ❤
Heyy Timmy glad you made it back safe, nice snow blower and the heated mats on the stairs awesome, great video thanks for sharing stay safe and warm 😊
What an awesome view you have there! Cool!
Love your videos there sooo awesome Thank you for sharing keep up the Amazing work you do.❤️☺️
Awesome video as always Timmy. Your Cabin is so awesome truly a work of art can't wait to see it finished to see all the epic adventure your going to have in it.
When you have a lot of snow to remove it's worth every penny to you for a really good snowblower
I love that you went skiing by yourself!
Thanks for the review! We get a little snow here in Buffalo, so seeing a good review is always appreciated!
Plumbing, put a porta potty on every floor with a suction hose out the window. Pipes will never freeze and burst. Place is looking great. Monster blower. I could use it in east Kentucky. Good vid Tim
