dino died a hero


bought 2 gallons in the beginning of winter...haven't finished it yet...plenty of snow here

You've had an easy winter then.  I've been through 10 gallons so far.  Of course mine is a Cub Cadet and we all know Hondas are known for gas mileage. :tongue:

A 500' driveway isn't helping my cause 'though. :ohmy:

Yuck, at least you could plow that.  I have 230 feet of sidewalk (corner lot), of which 90 is a main thoroughfair with no easement.  The plows reletlessly push crap off the road, directly on the walk.  My little 2 stroke suzukis have been running alot this winter.  Was wondering if I could get a nasty expansion chamber with no muffler....

:laughing6-hehe: I totally feel where you are coming from! 

I don't think I've had more than two days in the last month when I didn't have to use my snow blower at least once.

wheelies ?? no problem..with the track drive it goes right up the stairs to do the deck and up the ramp into my pick up bed......this thing is a beast.....Hydrostatic transmission (variable speed trans) is amazing...def worth 2x as much as those things they sell at Lowes and Home Depot


and the best part.......NO traction control !!!!!!

Normally I'd be jealous. But this year even the snow pups are getting no work. Love the post AND the tracks.

The only thing missing is the GDCs.

I hear you. We got about 50" so far this week with another 4-6" coming tonight. Garage is snowed in. Heat pump compressor (mounted at chest height) is now below ground level. Lawn is six feet down. This time last year I was riding.

I am very sad.

And I'm buying Honda HS622 as soon as the shop gets them in, which sadly is not til the fall.
#23 dawson
Good call. Worklight AND wind/snow protection. Is that a touring screen? :o)

Finally, a faired snowblower.

I never did like those naked ones the hooligan squids use on their driveways.

Man, you guys can't catch a break.  It's at least been looking like spring here in WI, supposed to get some wintery mix in the next couple days though.  Hopefully they are right about the rain following that, the salt needs to be washed off the roads.


Seen and raised:

Damn, why didn't I think of that. I could have actually done it this winter since the bike is apart.  Would have been no problem to fab up a little subframe...  Maybe I'll buy a rashed spare just for fun.

Get the HS724 better machine ,more power and easier to use .
#29 lshark

i agree...my HS724 with track drive is a beast...600 series is single stage 700 series is dual stage, separate impeller for discharge...it throws over 40 ft !!


#30 dawson
Would like a 724, but MSRP on those in Canada is 3099. We have a slightly different lineup here with the 622 as the entry model. It's a two-stage, tracked blower that's direct drive (no belts!). Still 2049, but after this year I can talk myself into it. 3k is getting a bit steep though. :o(

Honda put a FireStorm engine in a lawnmower... Wonder how a blower would work with a V4...
#31 gmtech94
A HS724 is on sale here at $2399 because dealers don't want to keep stock . I can't imagine any left in your area due to the harsh winter down east .Good luck and here in the sunny south of Ontario we have the 5 ft of snow just about melted as you are getting another dumping .

Spring has been (temporarily) cancelled here in Minneapolis. My bare lawn is turning white as I type. Riding looks to be no-go for the upcoming week. :angry:
