Woundering if anyone has Honda snow blowers, single stage? If so how do you like them. Noticed that Home Depot has carried them for a few years. I might be doing subing for the sidewalk grew this year to help out, so I'm in the market for a blower that will be easy to get in and out of the back of the truck. Thanks for the input..

We have been running the 521s and a 621 for years now. Very reliable, rugged, and work great in most conditions. I think changing the belts and cutting edges are the only thing we have ever done to them besides oil changes and gas. Unfortunately they no longer make either model. I have heard that the 520 is just as good as its’ predecessors, can't imagine it wouldn't be. We just picked up a 929T this weekend......can't wait to try it out!

We have 2 621's and like was said ust change bets and rubber auger belting. Although it seems the belts get thrown off easier as the units age.

Into my 4th season with my 520.. One hell of a machine.

I do all res. and this unit gets used alot. One man load & unload,
takes reg gas, lots of power.

Just changed the paddles this year, belt still in good condition.

Can't go wrong with this one.

You won't be dissapointed with the honda 520 it's an animal. I have 7 single stage units and the honda's are better then my 3650's in powdery conditions there about equal in wet snow there is no comparison. I wish they still made the 621's they are even a little better then the 520's in heavy snow I was lucky to find one on ebay with electric start for $480. in mint condition used by a homeowner in N.H..:D
