I got one of these machines last winter and have had nothing but trouble. When it actually works its great but for the most part the traction is lousy, the clutch freezes up regularly, which is great if you like going around in circles. After the 4th time using it the speed control fell apart and I had to re-assemble it, I had to make a series of adjustments because at one point it was only throwing a few feet. I could understand if this was a machine that had a few years of use on it but for a brand new machine?...Unreliable and poorly made...don't waste your money!

THESE ARE EXTREMELY WELL BUILT...PLENTY OF POWER AND TRACTION. EASY TO HANDLE. SHOOTS THE SNOW A VERY LONG WAY FOR ITS SIZE ! NEVER BREAKS !
