Comment:
This is the best Snow Blower I have owned in Minnesota. The only thing that is a problem is when I blow the snow to the left side. The shoot does not point to the left back side enough. When I remove the snow from the driveway close to the road I do not want to blow the snow into the road so I pull the shoot back with the joy-stick. It trys to stay back but it slips to a more forward pointing position. I can not find a way to adjust it.

I'm very glad that we purchased this unit as it is easy to control, reliable and will go through just about anything without breaking shear pins. The higher cost is worth it!

Comment:
My Toro Power Max 828 LXE is ready for its third winter. It has performed flawlessly and is my second, Toro two-stage thrower. (My first one lasted 18 years.) The 828 is powerful. Take time to learn its handling characteristics. It steers easily but its power can potentially push an operator against fences, gates, etc., in tight quarters. Maintenance is a breeze and dealers/part suppliers are everywhere. Handles deep, wet snow with ease. Often higher priced than its competition but always ready to work. Nothing is worse than a disabled snowthrower in the winter time. Toro provides confidence, year after year.
