I'd go for the Toro 1028 it's a breeze to steer and throws snow as good as the Honda. I had the Honda 928TAS so I know it throws snow well but is a bear to turn for some people.


 Thank's, I was thinking about going to my local Toro dealer this week and checking out the 1028 or 1128 models..My biggest fear about selling the new Honda is losing the great snow throwing distance it has..I have read and have seen you tube vids where the Toro really seems to do really well with throwing distance. I see that the shute stick is plastic how easy does the control work in the cold weather?

I just wanted to let you know that Honda DOES make units with steering.  It is a HM1226ic Hybrid. It not only has steering but you can run it with remote control too.


I have heard of the 1336ic Hybrid but not the 1226ic..I saw the 1336ic a few years ago in a picture when they were released..Trouble is I would have to remortgage my home to buy one..Slick looking machine though..But at that point I would consider a truck with a snowplow and stay warm while clearing the snow

Just curious how you can run the HS828TA with no problems but not the HS928TA? Is the layout of your home property a lot different than your rental property and therefore better suited to a wheel drive unit? I ask because I believe the only difference between the two models is the HP of the engine.



My house is just too tough to do without some sort of steering system and the rental is very small just a short single car driveway so a couple passes and I'm gone. I don't understand why Honda does not design a steering system for all their blowers it really makes sense especially seeing that they have such fantastic machines that have been around for a long while now, they don't even have a steering system on the wheeled models when almost every manufcturer has some type of steering to make your job a little easier...

Not sure what to replace new (December 09 ) Honda 928 track drive with..I love the Honda smooth and throws snow like crazy and goes through anything  ( also have an older Honda 828 track drive at a rental property )...I went out bought this new HS928 tarck drive late December 2009 for my own home so i wouldn't have to transport the 828 back and forth...I  used this new Honda  for literally 5 whole minutes but need to replace it with a snowblower with some type of steering . I know i'm going to lose a few bucks on the new Honda but for this driveway i really need some sort of steering I live in Massachusetts have about 150+ feet of a circular driveway.. I was at Lowes the other day checking out the new 2010 model 1330SE "Simplicity built" John Deere machines with easy steer and dual electric shute controls, heated hand grips etc.. Any ideas?

Forgot to mention that Honda parts wanted $4.50 plus $4.00 shipping for the locknut and I paid .50 from my local hardware store..not bad
