Do you use a 2 stage or single stage snowblower?
Here in SoCal we don't know how to use one.
single stage toro
2 stage l got 3
@@Setiweb didn't the commies ban gas lol
For my own home I use both a 2 stage and a single stage depending on the storm. Sometimes just a 48” wide shovel.
The neighbor is just lonely and happy to talk shop with someone who gets it. Good job being kind and letting him have fun explaining how much he knows:)
The sensible reason to have a small machine is you can lift it into your bed without wrecking your back or falling off ramps....
@@ckm-mkc -compact is a good thing small but powerful i know i have the same toro unit.
my neighbors are happy when i help them out, i look out for my elderly neighbors as i am nearing old age myself hee hee. later hakf of my 50s.
You're a good man Fill. Your kindness goes a long way.
I gotta hand it to ya. You were much more pleasant than I would have been.
What a dope . It's freezing outside but I'm gonna stop and say stupid things to this young man working hard in the cold weather then further engage him in conversation while I sit in my warm truck yammering away while he freezes listening to me . Great job dude 👏
@@yanomo2988 lol , if he was lonesome fr conversation pulling up to a stranger and demeaning their equipment and being bossy sure is an odd way to do it . His wife must hv gt tired of listening to him and sent him out fr milk lol
The "mines bigger than yours" comment had me laughing... you stopped just to say that?.. you bored or somethin?.. or maybe he's stalling because he doesn't want to lug out a big heavy blower and walk behind it at a snails pace for 3 inches of snow lol!!.
It's just banter.
You all are so overly sensitive that it's mind boggling how you even function in life.
100% a Trump voter
Also commuting in a Diesel truck..... Conspicuous consumption much?
"This Toro ain't no toy! Comon man" 🤣🤣
That neighbor is a moron with too much time on his hands. Calling your snow blower a toy then telling you to have FUN was an insult. He may have worked all his life but I have a feeling he doesn't know the meaning of HARD work. I'm glad he's so proud of how his truck handles the snow. Goody for him. You stayed professional while dealing with that dolt when he deserved to be told to go away.
Appreciate what an even tempered person you are dealing with Mr Knowitall! Great job all around!!!
Never saw a snow blower in action. Great video. Great job handling Mr. Know It All.
Thank you :)
there is always that guy that knows better, has it bigger, and must be right.
@@clausewitz41_plus_1 True
It's not the size of the dog in the fight , but the fight that's in the dog.
That's right!
Anyone can buy a 50 dollar chainsaw and cut down a 2 inch thick tree. Would love to see this thing go through a foot of snow in one pass.
@@fillslawncareplus you can't fit big fights in small dogs.
@@mattferrigno9750 up next .Billy bobs got a foot of snow can he do it ! 🤣 I'm a dare him to clear that buffalo play field! Get r done !
That little monster is perfect for this type of job. Color me impressed! I saw the review yesterday (I am not in the biz, but do enjoy your excellent reviews).
All I use is a Toro single stage. I put studs on the paddles and it's even better.... chews through ice piles pretty good.
You are a very motivated young man, doing lawns in summer months and snow in winter. And you do good work. I wish you much success and hope you don’t need to work extremely hard this winter. Take care.
Give hin your Info 🤣
guys belly is about to hit the wheel and wants to tell you how to push snow! gotta love it!
Just got out of the business this year. I had nothing but single stage. Ease of loading was the main thing. I would be done with most accounts by the time the guy with the 2 stage would get his unloaded. Had a 2013 721 RC. And they're beasts! Just a thought; try not to let the handle slap back. It breaks those little cast "s" hooks at the end of the cables. Thanks for the video! Keep up the good work!
Takes 15sec to load and unload. I doubt you're done an entire property in 30sec.
Got to love the guy that knows everything. Just wondering if you go back after snowplow comes around. I don't remove snow commercially but get feet of snow every year. I always clean to the left of driveway looking down towards the road for about 15 feet. That way snow plow isn't putting much of anything back in my driveway. Just a suggestion realizing that it may be against policy or insurance regulations. That little blower does a really nice job.
The only way I get to see snow is to watch shows like yours as snow here in Phoenix is almost nonexistent although some folks send into the news dept., pictures of their winter scenes which is always nice. I keep thinking of moving back to a 4-season state but can't seem to find the money to make the move. Take care and stay safe!
Thanks for sharing :)
9 out of 10 guys who drive big trucks like his ride people’s bumpers, drive, and act rude and obnoxious. If you get your job done you get it done. Good job man.
Are you actually serious ? I can say the same think about people that drive little cars .
A Toro PowerClear is all you need for most home use. It can even handle 10+" of snow. Essentially, if you don't have very long driveway, or if you don't get a huge amount of snow, a multi-stage snow blower is just a waste of money. Just imagine how much longer it would take to clear that few inches of snow with a 6-speed Briggs and Stratton! You'd be shoveling a lot more where the snow blower can't even maneuver.
Perfect for a light dusting of snow like that although it might be quicker to do it with a shovel LOL! One thing with snowblowers though, like in your video, some guy almost always shows up and tells you about their BIGGER snowblower. I think Freud might have something to say about that LOL! Greetings from Ontario Canada
Oh my goodness those beautiful trees still had leaves on. You never stop Fil 👍🏼🇺🇸✝️
I have both a single stage "paddlewheeler" that was given to me and two stage thrower. Use depends on depth and moisture of snow. Single stage is lighter and easier to use and great for my back deck which is huge. My conversation with "the neighbour" would have been much shorter even though I am likely the same age. My first words would be to shut off your bloody engine if you want to talk or have something meaningful to say. Good on you for being respectful and polite to an older guy that just wanted to gab.
In the summer of 1977 I was driving around Buffalo. They had a blizzard dump 100 inches of snow on them earlier that year. I was astonished to see snowblowers being built with motorcycle engines, specifically Honda twins and fours. They told me that up there you need brute force and distance to clear snow over 30 foot drifts!
I noticed that your toy fired up on the first pull and cleared the snow and ice right down to the cement. Nice. When you were shoveling off the stairs, I got the impression that the snow was very wet and heavy. That's the worst kind. Ugh
Yeah it gets heavy at times.
Yeah, that one pull was impressive for sure.
Makes me wonder if any mfgs ever made lightweight 2-stroke snowblowers. For examples like this might have been nice being light. But for sure they need some weight to work also.
@@scubasteve7946 John deere had a 321 2 stroke single stage years ago
@@geraldburmeister9637 thanks. After reading some other comments, I see that there were some other 2-strokes made. Can you tell I have never lived where I needed a snow blower?
That was my first thought too, dang, that thing started up right away!
There’s always “that guy” trying to tell you his is bigger. 😂
🤏
Where I live, we count snow by the foot and not the inches. That would definitely be considered a "toy" here!! 😁
But it's definitely handy to have one of these for the light dustings we get between storms. And I've considered putting one of these up on my porch roof which has a low pitch and I have to remove the snow regularly to help prevent ice dams.
Northwest Jersey doesn't have that much snow most of the times either. I do remember a couple of snow storms when things got interesting. I didn't have a snowblower for the longest time, so I used to a snow shovel. A couple of times I got lucky and a kind gentleman ended up giving me a hand by clearing my driveway with his snowplow. He never charged me any money, and obviously I always thanked him. One day I was out and when I came back my now ex told me how the gentleman had cleared the driveway and then charged him $20. I figured the gentleman must have thought, "I always see her shoveling the snow, but never him. is he really not helping at all". which he wasn't. I ended up dumping the ex, and my kids grew up so they began helping me shoveling. I then got re-married and with the new husband we also got a snowblower a couple of years later, tho up to then he had been shoveling the snow with me and my kids :D
Sorry for the random story lol
Lmao agree. Use a shovel you bozo
@@Jerseybytes2 A husband helping with yardwork makes a huge difference in a person's life. My ex never helped either.…
@@Matty06001 my wife's family has a store. I'm part of it. When we get snow, I'll get up hours before her and make sure she can get out, get our last child to school on time, and meet me at the store and go about business. In the summer, fall etc, we do the mowing and raking etc together. It's just fun. In my case, working with my better half makes a miserable job fun.
We have a lot of snow in Maine I needed a small snow blower for roof tops I bought a 2 stroke Torro what a beast 18 inch storms no problem. I still have it 15 years later
You’re so detailed - I like that. Stay warm Fill! 💙
First time watching a snow blower in action. Here in North Carolina we usually get more ice. Then snows on top of that. People from up north laugh at us. Because we shut down when winter weather starts falling. LOL Love your videos. May God bless you and your business. And, keep you warm and healthy.
I'm from Iowa but was stationed at Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina when I was in the Marines. I noticed some things that most people don't realize that makes areas like that much worse in inclement weather.
The roads didn't have much if any crest to them, and there are no storm sewers to take water away. Also, they don't salt the roads, they don't have plows, and people don't seem to pay attention to their type of tires or amount of tread.
It's a recipe for disaster if it snows.
You shoveling snow made me want a cup of hot chocolate. You are a fine gentleman. God bless you. Stay warn and healthy.
❤️🙏🙏👍👍🙏🙏❤️
Have had a similar machine for 25 years and has performed well for all but a 3 foot plus dump we had a few years back. It was a multiple pass struggle but it cleared down to the pavement as long as it wasn't frozen. Reminds me that it's time to replace the paddles and scraper which has been due for a couple of years. Money well spent!
I have a Toro Power Clear and the thing go through the snow with ease and cleans down to the concrete. I have a bigger 2 stage but only on rare occasions is it needed. Toro's rock
Social media has done this to us. We are now compelled to give our opinion on everything. Behind the keyboard is one thing but when it bleeds out to in person I don't think it's acceptable. I try not to comment much and I try to stay on the positive and only behind the keyboard. In person I mind my own business.
I grew up in Chicago and I remember how hard shoveling snow was or yard work or oh my do I remember the fall leaves. So, you did a great job 👍
Well said. People have become to comfortable being rude .
I've got an old 90's vintage single stage 2 stroke Snapper. It sill blows my mind how well it does. Love to light weight and the performance and miserly gas consumption.
I use a 1970s toro power snow shovel. It only throws forward but it doesn't matter how deep the snow is. It is lighter than a Shovel full of snow. In waist-high snow, you work from the top down. and there is never a pile of snow unless you direct it all to one place.
its absolutely adorable... good looking machine...
Love my Toro. Great for anyone in the fam who is intimidated by the Ariens 28”! Great for clearing down to the ground!
Spent my whole 70+ years in the low & high deserts so I’m clueless…but it sure looks cold.
Blessings to you & be safe!
Where I live the plow guy doesn’t come unless there is 3 inches on the ground. I wouldn’t even worry about cleaning what you had.
I worked on the north slope of Alaska and had to dig out equipment daily. Thanks for sharing.
I bought a Cub Cadet single stage a few years ago. They are called throwers, not blowers because of the units design uses paddles to clear the walkways and driveways. I sold mine when I put a front unit of my garden tractor. If that fellow thinks they are a toy he should go and check the price.
ur neighbor got the last laugh cuz this is exactly how he wanted u to react :D
free driveway snow removal ;)
I had a Toro single stage 2-stroke snow blower - it did a great job. I gave it to my nephew and I think he ran it on straight gas. It did a good job with the sloppy wet stuff also. I had it for 10 years before I gave it away.
Brrr. The western Oregon have had a colder winter in a long time,still snow and freezing rain about 500 ft. Even had snow on the coast, I live about 80 miles east of the pacific coast. I had around 2-5 inches. I live in the Willamette Valley, half way between Portland and Salem . Flowers blooming but still have morning frost. 😊
That Powerclear is a great machine! Cleans right down to the pavement.
Nice work as always. Love how some people think they know everything. You sure showed him 😅
I've done two foot snow drifts with my little 2 cycle toro. A little back and forth but it did the job just fine.
straight gas instead
He is right not tracked and not throwing snow into neighbors driveway
Wow, the leaves are still on the trees. Surprise snow.
more like, a samurai traveling on your trusted steed with your 2 small tools dispensing justice, and letting a braggert bend your ear. Good Day Sir ! That is Quite a Toro.
You have more patience than myself. I'll be polite for a few moments of small talk, but that's it if I'm working. That's the guy infront of you in the hardware store, at the table next to you at a restaurant, etc. talking to the workers forever while you are are waiting for service. Sometimes I feel sorry for them because it's they only way they can have a conversation because they're so boring, other times they irritate the heck out of you because life's too short. Sometimes you just gotta say "Is this going to be a long story?". 👍
Had a similar model years ago. Got us through plenty of winters. Loved that Toro!
I live in a town in Arizona that doesn't get snow. I do not want to live like that. I respect what you do. I really enjoyed this video.
Awesome! Thank you!
Can confirm 😏
I had a Power Toro Curve with the 2 stroke Suzuki engine, it was my Uncle's and it served me well until it started falling apart after 25-30 years. Good units, I have since had a Jonsered (Husqvarna) but it turned out to not be economical to run (same style of paddles as Toro's) but were $140 Canadian per pair and needed replacing way too often. Now I have a Cub 3x 28" heavy duty snow blower with a 420cc OHV engine, a vintage Toro 21" two stage with a Honda GX160 engine as a back up and two Honda HS35 single stage machines. Your explanation that using a single stage machine can be the fastest option is spot on for 6" (20 cm) or less snow.
It's perfect for sidewalks and small driveways. Take care😊
I'd put string on both sides of the chute to move it in a 360` or close to it, or buy actuators!
That's the only thing I didn't enjoy about it...the constant manual moving of the chute and the lack of self-propulsion.
I get the same kind of doubt and underestimating for my 821 too when they don't realize it has a bigger engine than most 2 stage blowers
I have a two-stage snowblower, but there was many an occasion when I wished I had a single stage. Nice job!
Thought he was like "that thing is a toy. Bet you it can't do my driveway.".
🤣🤣🤣
You are so right! A four stroke single stage is a must have in your arsenal. They punch way above their weight class. I have both, but use the single stage 3-4 times as much as the two stage. Half the workout too. Good job handling the neighbor, I think he might have been intoxicated.
yeah he possibly was
It looks adequate and easy to manipulate around obstacles.
I bet the neighbor would also despise of battery powered equipment, judging by his comments (nice little toy, and I have a big truck that can go up a driveway with 4 inches of snow). Cool story, I can go up my steep driveway with ice, layered with 8 inches of snow on top with a Prius because I have snow tires. He's probably against snow tires as well 🤣
You have a Prius 🫢
I always find it funny to see the size equipment people think they need. I grew up in Watertown, NY in the 60s, when a 2-1/2 hp blower was a luxury. We had a neighbor with a 4hp Ariens that had no problem keeping up. I live northwest of Rochester, NY now, close to Lake Ontario and have been using a 5hp, 24" Ariens for nearly 40 years. My driveway and sidewalk are just as clean as those done with blowers with 3X the horsepower. The slushy stuff is still a challenge for pretty much everybody.
Pretty fall colored trees in the back ground. Love your videos specially when you teach us about your business and equipment thank you for that I've learned alot from you. Have a wonderful week. I'm from Kansas we haven't got our 1st snow yet.
When I left S.Louis Mo. in 1989, and headed for Florida, the snow was knee deep and I had only 2 narrow paths for my for my tires to get down my driveway . Since that day , I have forgotten how to use a shovel. What a quick job your"little toy" did . You said it best when you mentioned that you can lift it up into your truck ,which is 3-4 ft. high. I bet the dude in the truck couldn't .
I'm so glad I don't need a snow blower. But if I did, I would make sure it had a blower you could position. Pretty cool.
That thing is tiny but looks great for just a few inches of snow and so light and easy to whip around.We had 2 ft here yesterday and I had a few driveways to do. I have an 11.5hp walk behind but I don't like it much. I'd like to have an old aliens because there balanced better and have a bigger auger even on the 8hp models. I'm about to get my heavy duty garden tractor setup for plowing or snowblowing soon,but I would love to get a little one like yours for sidewalks and stuff
I really liked it when you said, God bless you, because I’m a Christian.
Love taking my 2 cycle single stage plastic Toro snow blower out while everyone else has their big expensive 2 stage metal blowers. I usually do 2-3 homes while the big blowers are still on house 1. They always look like WTF is wrong here. No ramps, simple lifting. I have never had a bigger snowblower outperform my plastic Toro which is crazy to me
That snow blower did a great job.
Clears nicely down to the pavement!
The leaves hadn't even fallen yet. You looked cold. Getting into this channel.
Diesel truck guy.... HOA President?.... Starting to look like a Seinfeld episode
I’m sure the snow becomes a pain in the beep but it does look beautiful. Would love to live a season in it.
When I was young I loved the snow ❤️ Not so much now that I am old 😂🙏
It's magical when it's nighttime and snowing steadily but no wind; you go outside and it's so quiet. You watch the streetlight through the softly falling snow.
@@barbrn There really is meaning to the Christmas song 'Silent Night'. Every time it snows I go out at night and watch the snow falling and it's so silent and peaceful outside at night. There's no activity going on. Everybody's in the warmth of their homes. It reminds me of the song.
Any machine or tool that helps you complete a task is not a toy. And yet, they are all toys. Because they are awesome and fun!
Anyway right tool for the job, allowing good control in tight quarters.
Toro makes good stuff.
Thanks for the cool video.
Great job. Their life saver.
Kick ass snowblower but I always did it by hand and always made sure I went at least two feet past each side of the driveway for heavier snow possibly later in the year.
I use one like that for my deck. In North Dakota it would not work as my main blower. 2 stage is the way to go for heavy and wet snow.
I was so glad he could interrupt your hard work and tell you all about what he does anyway pretty cool video something about it made me relax
Great things come in small packages. KO'ed that job out perfectly. Good job buddy.
Having a couple show bowers myself, and seeing the markings your snow blower leaves. You truly got the better of the set ups on the market. They have rubber and metal augers on the market. The metal sits 1/8-1/4" off the ground. While the rubber makes contact with the ground. Contact=better removal=better job for the customers. While the metal will leave a thin layer behind to melt in the sun over the next couple hours.
Plus, if you pull my stunt in 3+ feet of snow, and try to remove a curb with the auger. The rubber is cheaper than the metal ones to replace....
I used to have one like that. I gave it away. With a skiff of snow on a very straight surface it worked but anything more or uneven surface it was useless. I spent more time thawing out the carb than I did actually moving snow with it.
I’ve had basically the same toro machine bought it in 1994 and still have it. Live in the northeast,and the more snow the better this machine works.
That red tree was beautiful against the white snow! I’m in Virginia. We never know what we’re going to get. Didn’t get much last year but the first one dumped over a foot of snow and took out the electricity for 9 days. That was because of all the downed trees and power lines. A rough start to the new year! I don’t want a repeat this year!!!
Wow where i live in Australia we never see snow....our weather is only cold and blustery at times during our winter months June -August. Rest of the year is either warmish or really humid and hot.
Ariens snow blowers are the best in the world. I work at ariens and paint them and the lawnmowers.
Red blower is easy to find in the snow!
That’s the type of dude that has that diesel truck to pull an aluminum bass boat
Damn. That's an awesome little snowblower. 🥳
Ours is so big and bulky and difficult to manage. 😒
I owed and shoveled for years. Check out the poly blade shovels. They're great, they last forever and you can usually get them in three or four different widths. They sell them on Amazon. I had a Toro just like that but it was a lot older. Great job and good luck in anything you do. 👍
I started with a toro CCR 2000. It was a 2 cycle and it lasted many years. People told me the rubber paddles were a weak spot. I never had to replace them. The plastic carb broke, which did seem to be a weak spot. I bought a new CCR 2200 or 2400 and that held up until my health failed in 2009. I just bought a new Power Clear. I'm not anxious to use it because I can't breathe well in cold air.
I agree about it being light. As weak as I am, I can lift this machine into my truck. I love that it's so easy to maneuver. Kind of like the old belt drive walk behinds. They didn't have gears and you pull the levers up, just pull it back instead of shifting or waiting on the slow reverse on hydros. I miss those days. Got a lot of good exercise.
I have a 721rc AND a 821qze. The 252cc in the 821 is a beast in a foot or less of snow and it's much more maneuverable than a 2 stage machine in those conditions.
I once used a small electric snow thrower to clear 3' drifts. I picked it up and slowly lowered down. It worked surprisingly well.
Hey, what about the edging?!?!😂😂😂 Nicely done and stay warm out there
Should've sent him a bill for occupying your time. The talk was never about anyone other than himself.
Stay safe and hope you have good boots with hard grips or cleats.
You know I was thinking at the beginning of the vid to tell you to stay warm an hydrated. Then you talk about it at the end Stay safe , stay warm.
Don't need a big one for that much snow. I will say it's nice to have plenty of yard between the sidewalk and the street so you have some place to put it. I could only afford one so I went with the big Toro - and the problem I have with it is that it climbs the snow rather than getting it all towards the edge. Too light on the front end? I dunno. It throws a long way, but perhaps it's a bit too large for my yard, if not my drive.
Plenty big enough he’s clearing 2” of snow
It’s perfect for that type of winter
We get 3-4 feet in a storm of wet heavy snow that’s when his neighbor can make jokes
I have a single stage Ryobi electric blower, I love it, works great on slush too.
That’s a lot of sidewalk. Great snow blower for smaller snow
I bet it's a lot of fun when the snow blows back in your face. 🥶🥶
