    Got an Aerins 28 years ago--damn thing won't wear out! I love this Honda--if I had one, I'd start it up, and go in the house and check it every ten minutes.

    In conditions like that, the hydro drive really shines. Honda really has the track drive systems down pat. Great video.

    @chronically.advocating Před rokem +7

    That is impressive. Those track driven snowblowers have much better traction, and breakthrough capability than wheeled ones do. Plus they are way more directionally stable. Thing I'm most impressed about is the lack of clogging when the snow is over the top of the auger housing.

    I retired my 30 year old Honda HS 80 last year and bought the new 13 horse version - what a beast.
    In 30 years the old one never gave me any grief just normal maintainance - but the auger and propeller where worn out.
    When I purchased the HS- 80, my neighbours gave me the crap about that little hp engine compared to theyr 13 horse or more Ariens, Stiga and whatever Brigs & Stratton powered blower that comes to mind.
    That little 8 horse Honda outperformed them all.
    They where constantly having issues whilst the Honda performed flawelessly. So - when retiring the old, a new era have begun. I’m still on the trone - now with the new Honda 13 horse.

    • @ToreDL87
      @ToreDL87 Před rokem +1

      Yeah even the mechanical transmissions were pretty good, so long as you changed gears before engaging clutch.
      I thought Briggs powered blowers was pretty good, until I owned one (mind you, my first, and it was pre-used), doesnt throw the snow as far as I'd like, and oil seal failed.
      My brother got a used 6 series Honda with hydrostatic drive and boy do I want one.
      I have a tractor for the main driveway, so the smaller blower is just for walkways, have changed the seal, I'll get a few more years out of it, then replace it with a 6-series Honda as well.

    I have a 38 year old Honda HS 50 Snow Blower that still starts on the second pull even after sitting for a whole year.The only thing I have had to do is replace a belt, shear bolt and a leaking float valve. Then there is my 18 year old Honda HS928TAS that I use only whenever we get over a foot of snow. Although it has electric start, these 73 year old arms can still get it started with 2 pulls. I have close to 30 pieces of equipment and quality is always at the top of my list. Honda's can't be beat.

    • @mrbassnotes
      @mrbassnotes Před 2 lety +1

      Looks like he's using a zip tie to hold the drive handle down, which then holds the auger handle down too. This is possible because the hydrostatic drive can shift from forward to reverse without releasing the drive.

    Nice video man. I had to deal with the same amount of snow, but only had my small 24" Troy Built snow blower. It wasn't as graceful as yours made it through the snow, but it still got the job done. Even the chute on mine was below snow level a lot of the time and the end of the driveway was more of a struggle forward and back several times to make it.👍

I have an older hs80 from the mid 1980’s and it’s still running like new but I do change the engine oil every 4 hour of use.

    Have worked a blower for years, with six feet of snow being its greatest challenge. Two things: the auger should be greased at least once every season. There is a receptacle for the grease in the center of the shaft. Very important. Secondly I have found that if I keep the blower spout pointed lower than higher the machine doesn't have to work so hard to blow the snow away from you.
    Have fun!

      Just as easy with this machine; don't need to do it twice. Smaller machines can't handle that much snow

      No problem waiting as long as you have the right snowblower and are confident it will clear out the nastiest snow.

    How’d you get it to go with no hands?

      This Honda 928 is unbelievable; left hand "clutch" propels and right "clutch" enable augur. One hand on the drive clutch and the augur will remain enabled until you release the drive clutch.

      @RYAN You are correct! At the 2:41 mark ... he is just moving the forward and backward drive stick. The left handle showed the "not engaged" drive handle "trigger". I don't see any ties like velcro ties engaging the trigger on the left handle. Maybe a feature I don't know about on the Honda?

      It looks like there's a zip tie on the drive handle. Can see at time 8:51.
