    After watching you for years my 3 year old son (who's big into tools, excavators, dump trucks, digging and smashing things, etc) started watching too and now specifically requests to watch all your videos instead any kids shows. It's nice you keep the language clean and he gets to see a variety of tools/equipment

And when I got there, I thought maybe I’d just snowblow across the County. And I figured, since I went this far, maybe I’d just snowblow across the great state of New York. And that’s what I did. I snowblowed clear across New York. For no particular reason I just kept on going. I snowblowed clear to the ocean.

  • @blowingsnow4fun
    @blowingsnow4fun Рік тому +4

    The two stage Toro snow thrower you used second is a very nice machine. Loved the way it cleaned down to the bottom, and the distance it threw the snow. Also it got great traction, and because of that you spent your time walking instead of pushing. People don’t realize how easy these are to handle & steer now that they have a differential. If they gave them a try, instead of looking at them & saying “this is too big a blower for me to handle” and never trying them even on the showroom floor, they’d spend alot less time sweating and pushing, and more time walking and blowing snow. The first blower you used, “the personal pace snow blower” was woefully inadequate even in the 6” of snow you used it in. You could hear the engine struggling and bogging down in the moderate snow you were using it in. The wheels were constantly spinning, and it was loosing traction in snow that wasn’t even 1/2 way up the bucket. For a residential owner that personal pace blower would be a waste of money (IMO). You’d be much better off with a smaller two stage machine like the 8hp Toro you used, or an Ariens 24” deluxe. I don’t think Toro uses shear pins in their design anymore in any of their blowers. Thanks for the video… I enjoyed watching you throw a little of the white stuff!

      There is the 518 ZE which is a little smaller than the 721 QZE hes got here. Not quite as small as the old 2 stroke but close for a 4 stroke. I've had one for a couple years in north NJ and it has been a beast. Powers through any type of snow/ice/slush and is super easy to handle. Definitely the brand to get.

    Another outstanding and oddly fascinating video. So nice to hear you're getting product to review. I was relieved to hear it not only because you richly deserve it and do completely unbiased reviews, but mostly because I couldn't imagine someone setting out to age their blower 5 years in 10 minutes trying to grind through that pile of ice chunks and gravel. A great stress test though, and it passed.
    I swear that Cody will be an expert in so much the way he intently pays attention to everything you do. ;-)

    They still have a smaller option for snow blowing. Its called the 518ZE I have a snow removal company in north jersey , we only do commercial properties so there is a good amount of sidewalk to be done but some properties only have the store fronts to do. I have a vbox salter in my bed so I just throw the little blower in my back seat. It works great and is 10x better then shoveling. You should look into it

I saw where several times this happened to you. I replaced them with the poly skids and they are so much better. That snowblower moves some series snow. I also like how you can let go of the drive control and as long as you are holding the auger lever it keeps going, leaving your other hand free to adjust the chute. Great video as always.
