Yard-Man 31AM62KE701 24-Inch 179cc Gas Powered Two Stage Self Propelled Snow Thrower With Electric Start

There were no reviews of this product when I ordered it, so I was a little hesitant to go through with a large purchase like this. The only review I could find was on another site and ut was very negative. But since this snowblower was from a resopected manufacturer and is made by a company that makes these for many other brand name sellers like Sears and Troybilt, I felt safe. When I received it, it was deliveed in a large cardboard box, not on a wood pallete. The contents were very well packed. The deilvery guys placed it in my garage without any complaint. They couldn't have been nicer or more professional. The unit required some assembly for the snow chute and the handles.

Completetly satisfied with this snowblower, it trudged through 2 ft of snow in the yard that had been sitting for a week.
Started after a prime and one pull, headlight is handy when using in the dark and casts plenty of light. It handled the snow plow piles at the end of the driveway, and managed to take it with power up on the deck. Assembles quickly, 1st year review is 5 stars, as far as performance, durability, craftmanship, and ease of use. I added chains to make quicker work and less spinning.
I have had a yard man mower for 10 years which I just can't kill, and led me to choose yard man again.

The downside.....It stopped snowing

Worked very well in snow and slush i was very impressed. Only used once though so lets hope she holds up.
I only gave 4 stars because I only used it once. By the way 3 pumps on the fuel and it started first pull.
Thats pretty impressive. I may look for chains for tires slipped a little but not a big issue. reverse is slow but you can do it manually if your in a hurry. Light is nice for night time jobs.
