Great Value

2 years ago
This is my 2nd winter using this snowblower in Northern Ontario, temperatures somtimes dip to -40c and and see up to 5 feet of snow over the course of winter. This blower has performed almost flawlessly. I recently had to tighten the blower pulley as it was no longer throwing snow. 4 star.

Yes, I recommend this product.

  • A: Yes, there are skid shoes included with this unit. They are as seen in the ad photo. I highly recommend this snowthrower, it works just fine for such a manageable size, and is quite easy to control.
