The information you gave is correct my friend. The skid shoes were a great idea. Honda wasn't worried with the 32 model about damage because of thee amount of harder materials put into it. When I used to sell ariens and toro snowblowers I always used to tell people knock on every part of the snowblowers. So you can see how many parts are plastic. Honda always had the least.
You really start to appreciate these honda machines when you live in a area that gets 250 to 300 inches of snow a year ! I've had every other brand snowblower imaginable that would barely last 5 years without a ton of maintenance! On year 6 with my Honda 928 with only oil changes so far with close to 400 hours on it !
This is true! With snowfall like we been getting in New England it’s a hit or miss. We could use it as much as a generator. I’m actually thinking of switching from ethanol gas with stabilizer to non ethanol gas just in case! Found a gas pump where I snowboard with non ethanol 91 gas and I’ll prob just throw in a splash of star tron just in case. I figured I’ll use it in my other machines like my mower too
@appleztooranges I only run 91 octane in all my small engines. Saves a lot of headaches during storage ! I work on these small engines and 99% of the problems are carb issues and ethanol gas ! I try to drive it into people's heads spend the extra dollar a gallon !
Another fantastic video! Thanks for this. Good idea to check this for preventative maintenance. Keep up the good content!

Hondas are the best machines ever Built!
**Check this if you bought a new Honda snowblower!

@@dougyoung3896 okay and star tron plus 91 no. Ethanol gas won’t hurt it?
@appleztooranges I use marine sta-bil in all my stuff so star tron should work just fine ! Enjoy your new BEAST !
@@dougyoung3896 thanks. Do you empty gas at end of season or leave it?
