Hey guys need some guidance!

I want to get a single stage snowblower and I was looking at the toro model that is 75lbs and is 2 stroke. Mainly for where my atv wont get and to clean up curbs. What do you think?

Can't go wrong with a Toro.The 3650 single stage is an awesome little machine.We bought 4 last year (get them early,they were hard to find),and they went through just about anything.Light enough for one man to toss in a pickup easily.

The only thing I have found with the newer models is they run really lean.They will surge sometimes.Drilling out the main jet a few thou solved that problem. :D Running good quality synthetic (like Opti 2) at 100:1 makes them run better too.

The one dislike I have is they are loud.If noise isn't a problem,then go Toro.If it is,look at a Honda.

Too bad Kubota or Dodge doesn't make any huh?

Ill second Wyldman in that the 3650 is a great light machine that isnt afraid to work hard...............


I love the ones that weve got between Bill and I and were talking about adding another one to the fleet this winter..............

Well guys my Toro snow commander showed up today, its nice. 7HP two stroke I bet that will move some snow!

[wyldman]

Did you get the snow commander or the 3650 ?

The snow commander is much heavier,it's like 120 lbs !

The 3650 will do it just as well at only 70 lbs.

All that extra weight is a bear to lift into a pickup in a snowstorm.

Yeah I got the heavier one, I suffer from a syndrom that I must have every thing big.
