There’s more of this than you might expect. First time I got to turn on my new Toro I went the entire way around the block.

  The other side of the equation is my now dead toro had me covered in gas, frozen fingers, and plenty of swearing, with an itching desire to light it ablaze in the middle of the yard. Tis the cycle of snow blower ownership.

    That’s just an excuse to upgrade to the new hotness!

    I have a firm suspicion that blowers last a number of seasons, not a number of runtime hours.

      That's my take as well. Years 1 & 2 are always flawless, 3 may have a few situations and 4/5 start bringing the swearing causing problems. Naturally, I don't maintain it very well throughout the years, but always mean to. I'm sure mine needs a new carb / cleaned, but happen to have lots of cabinet work going on in the shop where it's warm and oil/gas isnt happening there at the moment. Maybe on a "nice" day I'll rip it apart outside. Or already eyeballing a new 'husky'!
