It is, and you can steer them with the touch of your finger, by unlocking one wheel.

Yes that is correct, That picture I put up does it no justice, it is huge. I would take a picture of the one at work but I am not aloud to do that.

This is a snow BLOWER

I found this up in Alaska, now i've got a reason to show it, think this will clear sidewalks?

That is cool. But if I needed a blower that big, a RAD blower on a Turf Tracer with a tru-trac would be the ticket. You wouldn't have to walk.

I owned one last season. It was the biggest waste of $1800 that we spent. The transmission is very chinsey. They will not hold up longer than 2 months in a commercial setting. Sold the scrap for 60% less than what I paid for it. By a Toro blower, you'll be much happier.

2 pennies.:wink

Yeah, they are not built heavy duty. Many people think when they buy Troy Built, Cub Cadet or White that they are getting the quality of yesterday. When actually they were bought by MTD years ago and cheapened. MTD uses the old repetation of these companies to sell high volumes of equipment.

I don't remember exactly, but I believe it is $2,500-$3,000. If I had a driveway big enough to warrant the use of that big of a blower I would go spend it on a small pickup with a plow that would be used just for the driveway.

Are people ever going to realize that equipment at department stores is junk? I wouldn't blow a fart with that thing

It should come with directions that say " you must be 6'2" and 285lbs to operate this machine". Way too big in my opinion.

When are people going to realize that not everyone can afford dealer equipment at dealer prices! Dam.

Growing up in lower Michigan my dad did not believe in 4 wheel drive or snow plows. I used a Toro 1132 snowblower for many years on our quarter mile driveway out in the country.
