Buying Large 2 Stage Snowblowers? My neighbor has a concrete business, and does snow removal during winter....
My neighbor has a concrete business, and does snow removal during winter. He other buys these large Craftsman 2 stage snowblowers for his job. It seems resembling he always have problems with them, and they are not even a year out-of-date! The plastic chutes break, shear pins break, and sometimes they dont run very honest. He also has an elder Toro. The Toro never has any problems! I told him today that he should invest within a brand new Toro, or Ariens snowblower instead of a Craftsman because that is to say what the professionals use, and they are made to handle the tough job. Besides they are much easier to get parts for, and probably enjoy a better warranty. I never have problems finding parts for my 35 plus year behind the times Ariens snowblowers. Am i right?
Answers: Obviously he is getting what he pays for. The Craftsman requires a smaller initial investment, but down time costs money, too. The less expensive machines may enjoy the same engines as the pricier models but the frames and transmissions are not as strong.
yep the flimsy plastic ones cant hold up,
