Yard-Man 31AE6GLF701 8.5HP 26-Inch 2-Stage Snow Thrower

I just have unpacked, tighten two screws to put the handle bar with controls (that is all the assembly work I had to do), poured some gasoline, checked the engine oil which was already there, then started a few times both using electric and coil. The engine never failed to start so far. coil Starting is so reliable so far that I am yet to see if I really need the electric start at all.

However it was supposed to be trigger controled, (as it is still on their description) I see the place on the handle bar where the triggers should go, but the triggers and their wires are missing. And I have not figured out how to lock the levers yet. Without locking them, it is not one hand operation, I will need all four hands and feet.
As far as the machine is concern, it seems very good.

This machine failed to provide what the manufacturer promissed.
The elctrical motor which controls the position of the chute burnes out within few months. The manufacturer knows about the problem yet it continues to sell the snow thrower with it. Instead of reimbursing or recalling all the model the manufacturer simply wants you to buy a concersion kit for $55.00. The conversion kit is far more complicated to install than they want you to think. The customer support is teriible. Do yourself a favor .. do not buy this machine.

I bought this yardman snow thrower and got one good year out of it. After that all I had were problems with it getting started and working for longer than 5 minutes. It start and stop repeatedly. Don't waste your money on this blower.
