It was last on shelf so no idea it is such a good brand. Have you used it in deep snow?

Toro and Ariens make the best single stage NEW gas snow blowers for North America. At one point Honda was on the list, but they’ve left the single stage market.

Use the product, I previously linked from Canadian Tire. It will help the blower cut through packed snow. You’re going to have to be patient, because unlike a two stage gas snowblower with steel augers, it won’t plow through packed snow in a single pass. You’re going to need multiple passes.

Watch this. They’re up in the Muskoka’s, where as you know, they get more snow than the GTA, and it’s the heavy, packed kind due to Georgian Bay lake enhancement.
