By far the most impressive video I've ever seen of a machine throwing the heavy wet east coast type of snow, instead of the usual 5" of dry powder throwing which proves nothing.
There really aren't too many of the BIG blowers I'd buy other than Ariens, Simplicity. They still are real snow blowers with thick steel, big tires and heavy duty components. That is a snow killing machine.
Honda does make good products but you definitely pay for the name. I bought an Ariens Deluxe with the larger engine two years ago and I love it. The dealer I bought it from also sells Honda products. I compared the Ariens I bought to a Honda with identical features (engine size, width and depth of unit, etc.) and the Ariens was over $700 less. I repeat...Honda does make good products but you will pay a premium just for the name.
Quentin 33 - Briggs & Stratton makes the engines and they also purchased Simplicity roughly 7 or so years ago. Simplicity snow throwers are very good machines just look how well built the handles are there made out of rectangular steel verses the round tubing like other brands. The engines on their pro models such as this one are made in our country.
I’m seriously considering the Simplicity garden tractor 4 wheel drive xl Legacy 2 stage snow blower, of what I’ve seen? I am a bit impressed. I am concerned though, our driveway is on a hill. Can this tractor do it, heavy wet snow? Open to ALL replies.
I have a Simplicity Legacy XL 4x4 with the Kawasaki liquid cooled 27 HP engine. It has the optional aggressive tires which do make a big difference with traction in the snow. With the box to add weight on the back your two-stage snow blower should do a good job. If your steep driveway requires chains on the rear, you should have no problem with the Legacy 4x4 getting traction. I use a snow blade on mine and traction is never a problem even without chains in less there is icy conditions. The two-stage blower is heavy built, so weight in the rear of the machine is necessary. Everything Simplicity builds in the Legacy XL series is heavy duty and made to last. Simplicity makes walk behind commercial snow blowers that are very heavy built too. After doing lots of research on the pro and cons of all the main brands of walk behind snow blowers, I opted to go with the Toro Power Max HD 1232 with the quick stick shoot control. I looked closely at the Simplicity commercial snow blowers, but because the shoot control was electrically operated, I decided to go with the manually operated quick stick on the Toro Power Max HD. Less things to go wrong over time.
Honda lawnmowers and snowblowers do not hold up or perform as well compared to other brands. Their mowers rust out and cables break within a few years. Simplicity snowblowers will last 30 plus years easily if they don’t rust out by neglect. I don’t believe there is a better snowblower than Simplicity, made in Wisconsin where we know what we’re doing when it comes to snow.
Nope, I’ll take a Simplicity over that junk any day! Honda makes a good motor, but that’s we’re it ends! Simplicity walk behind hands down are the best walk behind period. Especially the signature pro series.

Looked like the snow was pretty deep. The old Simplicity handled it easy. Nice job.
Eats right thru the heavy road plow👍
that looks so heavy when he turns around... :O
@@paulg2831 keep the blower in motion when you turn.
What about a blower for one of your horses? Great video
was that thing on beast mode , dang .
that thing was throwing snow a mile
Sweet
Who makes the engines for Simplicity? Briggs & Stratton?

With chains and weight it should be fine

How long is your driveway?
So how many cc is this?
I have a Simplicity snow blower. It uses a plastic transmission. I would not purchase a Simplicity. I would purchase a Honda snowblower.
wow thats alot.
Honda wins every time.
toy man not when it comes to snowblowers
