Pix or it didn't happen.

Probably pick it up next week.


Were you able to use the new machine last night? If so, how did it work? I didn't use mine as we only got a few inches but it took me a few minutes to get it up and running yesterday afternoon
after just occasional starts over the summer and fall.

I didn't anticipate the wait. Takes 7 days to ship to store. I bought a shovel yesterday :?

Don't have an electric start but certainly something I'd look into whenever I am shopping for one again.

Knock on wood only took three pulls today to get mine fired up.

My electric start was fuckin up today, and I just used it a couple months ago... So I had to pull start... Took probably 20 attempts and an infinite amount of primes.

Used mine last night to clear the curb, end of driveway and my sidewalk as well as my neighbors. When I have the time I prefer to shovel,
especially when the snow is relatively light. Mine has the electric start option which I have used almost exclusively after I pulled the cord
on mine two winters ago and it snapped. Got it fixed but the electric start is just easier.

Electric start is sweet. I can't believe how many neighbors were shoveling this weekend. Apparently there was inordinate amount of snow blower breakdowns.

Sorry I'm late to the party but I figured I would chime in with my two cents. I say go for the 2 stage. In fact, go to the store and have them start all of them. Then pick the loudest one. You know that one will work the best.

Oh yeah. Electric start is a total life-saver.

Ok, I don't advocate trolling or mults. But if you must do it, at least be funny. As such, thanks for making me chuckle.

Two Chus Neighbor mults back to back. The new era of multing is in full swing.

i bought a mtd 30" 2 stage off CL for 25 bucks. the motor was fine but all the gears were bad and it wouldn't go. it cost me about 100 bucks in parts and works like its brand new. my driveway is 75' and it clears it pretty quickly.
