Snow Equipment Buying/Pricing New Honda snow blower

nspec · Sep 5, 2011

For 8 grand I'd buy a used plow truck.

Hello Al,

For that kind of money I would buy the BCS unit with diesel or gas power with the 32 inch Berta two stage snow caster or the heavier 32 inch tracked Yamaha from the Yamaha dealer in Labrador. The main advantage for the BCS is it can be used the year round which makes it a better value for most climates.

I second that. Our BCS 835 has been a great machine and is getting a snow blower this year.

It's obviously well used here........

The day I shelled out 7 grand for a walk behind snowthrower, it would have to give me a full body massage and bring my 7 crown hot toddy.

Notwithstanding, Honda makes some good power equipment. I swear by their engines.

I prefer the Yamaha Inverter generators however.

Ok, this is the loudest honda I have ever heard. throws snow like crazy though.

Be more impressive if he wasn't blowing powder. I noticed near the end of the video that he stopped and backed up when he got into the big pile with the 'boulders' from prior runs that dropped down. Have him find a 3-4' plow dam at 8 AM put up at 10 PM with 25F temps. Then I MIGHT be impressed.

For that kind of cash, it ought to at least have a wind/blowing snow shield.
