UPDATE: Check page 4 to see it all fixed.
I just took delivery of my 1723 with 2360 blower and we got 12 inches of wet cement two days later. I cleaned my driveway up and went to help my neighbor whose blower died on his first pass. His driveway is paved but we had huge wind gust during the storm and it must have blown a branch down. It was maybe 12 inches long by 2 inches thick. It was buried under the snow, I didn't even see it. It got sucked up and wedged in the impeller and ripped the corner of the impeller shroud and rolled it up into the throat. I did my best to bend it out of the way. It also but a slight bend on one of the impeller wings. Not even enough to see with the naked eye. It was barely enough for it to just skim a weld on the way by. After some prying I bolted it all back up and it seems fine but man am I bummed out. Brand new.
