TORO CCR 3000 snowblower
Original Message   Feb 8, 2011 1:13 am
Can anyone tell me about this model.  One is for sale locally for $150.  Claims it's in great condition and runs like new.  Is it worth it.  How does it compare to the new models.

Thanks,
Paul

Paul7,

That CCR3000 may very likely have a Suzuki engine in it.  I remember seeing some later models  with the R-Tek sticker near the console.

50:1

The above which was taken from the Toro site applies to your machine.  It appears to have the Suzuki engine.  Good for you. 

As far as mixing oil and fuel, it says the recommended ratio is 50:1.  I keep one container of fuel mixed at approx. 35:1.  I use that mix for all of my equipment which requires anything from 25:1 to 50:1.  With today's oil, I'm confident that the equipment with a richer oil/fuel mix will not suffer with 35:1 and once the equipment is a running temperatures, very little smoke is evident.  It's better to go slightly rich rather than thin. 

Let us know how it works out for you.
