Toro and Ariens are both close second but Honda just has the torque and ingenuity to reign supreme. And that electric mechanical chute design is awesome.
Nothing wrong with AX engines being produced in China. They are not incapable of making good engines in China. The AX engines are more powerful than the Honda engines of similiar sized snowblowers, but Honda's entire selling point is that it works. You walk out to the snowblower, you wonder if it's going to start, you read the word "Honda" on the snowblower, and you stop worrying about whether it's going to start or not. @@briggsdidnotstrapem7699
I just bought a Honda HHS 985 which should be delivered here in Brockville Ontario Canada in a couple of days. My driveway is only about 150 feet long and double car width so it's probably more than I need. Mind you I have a huge rear deck that a track blower should get onto on its own and if not I have a ramp I can use. At the age of 79 ( even though I still think and look about 30) I need something that makes snowblowing easy.
I had a brand new Honda 970 with wheel from 1999 and until i sold it with the house in 04. It is the best snow blower i have had. I have had Bolens and Stiga, and Karcher not close to Honda. Started on the first try, no matter how long it has standing, or how cold. The problem in Norway is the price, expensive, 4,289 dollars,about 46000 thousand Norwegian crown in 2023.
I have the much older smaller HS55 from 1982...its still going strong. I always try to chute the snow with the wind and not right in front of my path...but hey, that's me.
We had over 12 inches of snow. This did a great job getting the job done. Had to tilt the blower up a little to get above the 12 inches then put it down to do the rest. It did great with the heavy snow!
Yes, it is very nice to have this precise and easy control of the chute. You can easily choose to throw it just next to the machine or over to the neighbors!
Hei! Foretrekker belter, den er lettere å gå med, og du kan finjustere høyden ned mot underlaget mye mer nøyaktig (det er en egen spak/håndtak på styret som du kan betjene mens du freser, dette er kun på beltemodellene). Men hvis det er isete, så er hjul med kjetting desidert best!
@@InTheVise Enig, har en Simplicity Signature P1728 EX hjemme med hjul og kjetting, brutal maskin. På hytta hadde jeg inntil igår en Yamaha YT1070 med belter og den er meget bra på det meste inklusive terrasse. Skal kjøpe ny beltemaskin, enten Honda 970 eller Ariens Rapidtrack PRO, veldig usikker.
Hehe joda er her og 🙂 Utrolig fornøyd med Ariens Rapidtrack Pro og ville ikke byttet mot en Honda 970 slik forholdene er på hytta. Har kjørt litt 970 og det er herlige maskiner. Broren min har både 970 og 760. Det jeg egentlig ønsker meg er en hybrid hjemme.... @@evenito9455
Honda snowblowers are very popular in Norway. A lot of Honda dealers, top customer service! Honda equipment is the best quality you get, but it is expensive.
Yes, but sometimes the tractor can be a bit big, and the chains on the wheels can make some really bad damages on concrete bricks if you spin the tires or brake hard.
If I lived in a place like Norway, I would definitely have something like that. Honda machines are incredible.

Honda power equipment are great! Very high quality, reliable and easy to use!
i will never again include ariens or even toro, when i am taking about premium engines like honda.
Ariens have AX chinese engines, toro no bro.

10 years old machine. great job my friend.
That HSS970 is the beast!

Just got the 970 HSS A without the electric ignition, because I'm tired of reviving dead batteries. Wonderful machine.
Great machine!!
I have the same Honda. Great Video, keep going 👍
Yes, Honda snowblowers makes clearing snow fun!
Thing is a beast.
I’ve owned a few snowblowers but that chute control is amazing.
Yes, it is very nice to have this precise and easy control of the chute. You can easily choose to throw it just next to the machine or over to the neighbors!
@@InTheVise I think it is too slow, going from left to right you have to stop and wait for it at times.
Honda💪💪
Honda power!
I want to move to Norway now.
Good machine!
Yes, this is a machine you can trust when you wake up to half a meter of snow!
Hello dear! Please tell me how many meters the HONDA 970 throws sleet
@@user-yl4hr7fw5p
Hello. - Hello.
Thank you for your comment.
If it's sleet, it's about 10 meters!
@@InTheVise Wet snow throws far, how many meters
@@user-yl4hr7fw5p 15 metereish
Ja, bare gøy å frese snø med Honda
Hei! Ja, er kjempefornøyd med den!
Hvilken liker du best, den med hjul og kjetting eller den med belter?

what year is this honda my friend?
how many winters have you been using this hondahss 970?
great video.
I use it every winter. Works excellent☃️🌨🌨
Is the black drift cutter attachment custom made?
No, it is an original Honda part. This is standard on these snowblowers in Norway.
This thing can Toro your Ariens in the garbage...
did you do an impeller mod on it?
No, it is original.
Link to gascan?
Birchmeier Rapidon (6 liter)
imponerende!
おー、HONDAの除雪機は海を渡ってるんですね。私も同じ機種を持ってます。今年も活躍してくれてます。お互い春までがんばりましょう(•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑ 。でも新車買ったんですね、やる〜😊。
There's something about snow. I hate it.
北欧ノルウェーで日本の除雪機が使われているとは。ブレード後付けで高さを変えている様だ。

@@InTheVise В мире много языков и не обязательно все должны писать и говорить на английском! Приспосабливайся, используй переводчика😅
I would be in that tractor with cab, heat, radio and tv plowing not walking behind a blower.
Yes, but sometimes the tractor can be a bit big, and the chains on the wheels can make some really bad damages on concrete bricks if you spin the tires or brake hard.
Most fatty's would do that too
