I have used both ,, Wheels (more easy to maneuver faster in transit from site to site.) Tracked , "Can be set in digger mode to force the scraper bar to scrape down to the surface ,, if you deal with trying to remove heavy packed down dense snow like the stuff pushed off a roof its astounding how much more tractive force the tracks can achieve .Tracked is slow when moving from site to site but it will crawl over stuff that will leave you wrestling with wheeled machine to get it unstuck.
Wheel vs Tracks - each have their place. I had a wheeled blower but living in a northern snow belt with snow from November to May, it doesn't handle heavy accumulations and inclines well. The tracked blower cannot be stopped by terrain, and the HSS1332 has handle mounted steering so thats a must. The only way I'd get rid of my 1332 is for a 1336.
I just bought a 2022/23 Ariens Platinum 24 SHO (wheeled, w/ the 369cc engine) and I'm looking forward to next year. It should kick the crap outta my now-retiring 1980 ST824. That said, DANG, those Hondas have throw distance like nothing else. Impressive!
@@appleztooranges It wasn't too bad, but there WAS a 3-day stretch by me last December, where the cold + snow + high winds damned near put me in the ground! Cheers.
For that amount of snow the wheeled unit did the job just fine. For 2 feet of snow, the tracks would be better. If I could pick, I'd take wheels over tracks, unless I was on unpaved, steep surfaces
Great comparison. Looked like the wheeled version almost wanted to go too fast. I think a good system of dropping the speed just prior to turning and it would be super smooth to operate. Well done and that was super funny blasting the snow around at the camera. It happens lol
It’s hard to tell with only 6” of snow. I wish we got more. These last few years we haven’t gotten much snow at all. I’m sad not much winters anymore. Hopefully it’s just jet streams and we will get tons more
Tracks save your back when the going gets rough. It will stay down and eat straight through the heavy slough from the road and wind packed drifts that will stop a wheeled machine or cause it to climb the snow.
That is a good point. I was just coming out the garage so this was easiest for me. My neighbor on the left is too close to me so I can’t throw it that way. It be all in her driveway. So can only shoot it to the right. Thanks for watching
@@appleztooranges Pray for what most people call a bad March. There is still hope for a big snowstorm. Look into a smaller electric snowblower. If I had money I would buy one. Still can't afford a big Honda, but someday.
2 things about your hounda hss928. You need to re jet the carburetor for maximum power. Also your shute have that calor, it will plug with the wet snow call honda and they will send you a new one for free.
What are you talking about the Shute with the collar, please explain? How have you know that Honda USA will send a new Shute without the collar for free replacement? Do they ship it for free? Thanks
@@rottiejakeluke honda dealer have sent me shure replacement for my snowblower for free. Honda hss models from 2015 to 2019 were made with that collar, that makes snowblower to plug in wet snow.
I have a cub 3x 26 do a lot of yards I love it by me cuz I have alot of deep snow. I plow thew it in 6th gear almost up to bucket hight Anyways I was looking at the honda weeled 28" then the 32 trac, I want to like the trac but just can't, all the quick moving around. How do u like the weeled model model? But I'm also looking at the cub cadet 3x 30" pro. Or the 34pro. Idk what u think of that honda

Let’s hope we have a better winter! This winter was pathetic haha

@@floobertuber I can’t wait for a day we finally get 24” storm + so I can see how well it goes

True! Good points. Hoping for one huge storm this year. 18”+ to really compare the two
Great comparison. Looked like the wheeled version almost wanted to go too fast.

It's hard to tell which one I like better. If I was forced to choose I would take the wheels.
Wheels is easier to turn and menauver

Where is the hydrostatic fluid reservoir on the new model?
It’s built within and hidden. The old one had a side compartment where you could see the liquid level. New one, they removed this.
I like the wheels better.
If you are blowing the snow in that direction why didnt you start on the other side of the driveway ? 🤔
That is a good point. I was just coming out the garage so this was easiest for me. My neighbor on the left is too close to me so I can’t throw it that way. It be all in her driveway. So can only shoot it to the right. Thanks for watching
@@appleztooranges I have neighbors close on both sides, can you control how far you throw the snow or at least point the schute down a bit?
Rookie, Should start at the other side since you are blowing it downwind
Thanks billy bob
The real test was on the bottom of the driveway. Track with 13hp didnt slow down or change the sound where 9hp on wheels slow down and was choking
Be nice to your wife for the rest of the day for taking the video.
Not many likes on this video. Maybe not enough snow? We are lacking a ton of snow this year. Biggest storm was this one

Could have done that driveway with an old single stage Toro 2 stroke in about the same time……on Craigslist for $100

Wholesome AF comment.

Thanks. Would you rejet both Hondas? Neither of them have been touched. Still virgins. Thanks for watching
@@appleztooranges no you only rejet hss928. They have robed it from power comapre to older model.
@@ABC-nv8ly I did not know this. Thank you

The 1332 has more cc's, so it has more power and throws stronger.
True

Wheels 928 Honda so easy to steer. 1332 track not so much.
Get a honda. Stay away from cub cadet
@@ABC-nv8ly never owned a cub cadet. Heard Honda and Yamaha are the best though
@anatoli gumeniuc I agree with the honda part but disagree with the cub part. Never had issues as long as I did normal maintenance on it
@@drumhead14 I have family who loves cub cadet. Whatever works best for you I say!
Ya big cutie! I love you!
I'll take the 11/32 an absolute beast nothing can touch it eats other blowers up period no contest
Doesn’t bog either!
@@appleztooranges I once had a girlfriend who was as brutal as the 11/32 she would eat and devour everything in plain site a real animal
