There is nothing wrong with Honda's track drive, it works exactly like it's supposed to but it is not easier to turn or steer. My wife cannot turn it.

You do have to muscle it around which for most guys isn't that big an issue unless you have a lot of turns.

Toro has the skid steer which honestly for what Honda charges should come with it. That said if we redo our backyard and put in a

generator I'd have to snowblow across or rather up/down a fairly steep hill and that would mean a Honda with tracks as it can be set to 3

different positions. The Toro like most wheelies scrapes nice and low which I love but it can't adjust for stuff like the grass on the fly.

Snowblowing 100 feet in our backyard would not be fun with wheels, one slip and down she goes!

"If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car, you live in New England."  "If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you live in New England."

I love my honda with the tracks.

I just fired her up this afternoon for the first

time since last winter. One pull!!


I started HS1132TAS engine in October.  I was cleaning the garage and moving things around so I thought give it a pull to hear the engine.  One pull too, expected that, so it didn't surprise me. 

Gave it a pre-winter preflight once over of everything.  Adjusted scraper bar height, lubricated the chute worm gear.  Everything is ready for a big storm.

Got first measureable snowfall last Tuesday, 0.6 inches.     Not even enough to break out the shovel.  Still waiting for more.
