[Home] Snowblower / Snowthrower Deal Watch thread 2012/2013

Have you considered one of these?

Some people say it can be hard on the engine but I think you just have to go a little slower in wet heavy snow. I made one myself with some bolts and some heavy rubber.

That looks interesting. I'll look into it a bit more.

Sears has a 24" dual stage 249cc Crafstman snowblower on sale starting Dec 26 for $699.99 (regular price $1299.99)

Webcode W-7152124

Man I love my Ariens. It only took 5 minutes to clear a foot high snowbank at the bottom of my driveway whereas it would take me 30 minutes at least, if I were to shovel. Give me the extra time to find other deals ;-)

The sears one shows as $999 for me? Looking for a good deal on a blower

i'm thinking about buying that sears model on the 26th, or either the sno tek at HD.

I forgot to mention that i have a big driveway, about the size of 10cars parking.
do you think one of these blower can do the job?

I'm currently shoveling by hand with my neighbour.

For bigger driveways it's always best to go with something wider, 27" or 30". With a 30" you will make at least one less pass up/down on a typical two car wide driveway vs. the 24". 27" is a good compromise between size and clearance rate. That said, even 24" will be an improvement over shoveling!

Im not sure if its posted already, i passby st. Catherine costco, poulan 27" clearing width with steering control is $200 off, something like $724, thats a good deal if you're in the hunt for a big blower.

It is 749$ in Brossard not 724$. The 24 inch model is 549$. Both are in stock but the small one is not on display.
I was told to come during the week if I want the small one. Took the 27 inch one.

Feel like a wuss but I pretty near killed myself in Ottawa yesterday shoveling that snow. Small 2 car laneway but it was making path to crony door back deck and shed that did me in. Might get that snotek.

larger is always the best but I think the snowtech is 2 phase so stronger...

Gah! I so wanted to avoid costco this week! Now I need to decide..pull the trigger?

[payam1981]

For those who have the experience, what do 27" or 30" blowers go for once the season is over?

Trying to decide if I should pull the trigger on something, possibly the Costco one now or wait for clearance at the end of the season. I have a blade mounted on a V-Twin yard tractor so I'm can wait if it's worthwhile...

Thanks a lot for any insight on the past trends.
