Yea. Im learning that quickly. Cant say no either and watch them suffer.Finally got to use my snow blower. Thought it would mean less work for me but it just meant less work for my neighbors.

You guys are too nice. I just can't reward stupid.Yea. Im learning that quickly. Cant say no either and watch them suffer.
You don't need to tackle the bank head on. If I have a big bank, I go parallel to the street and just take off as much as the snowblower can handle on each pass.Another question. So the fricken plows put another snow bank in front of my driveway. So i may have to go clear it again tomorrow. Is that going to be a problem once all of this ices over tomorrow?
Not ####ed as far as the machine goes. Unhook the fuel line and drain the gas into the can. The machine will be fineSo am I ####ed?
my snowblower is still in my garage with fuel in it, plus I have a can with 1-2 gallons in it still. What should I do with it and the gas? I want to put them in my outdoor shed.
Too late for the stabil now imoIf he puts a fuel stabalizer in the old gas will that keep it good or does the gas eventually go bad? I have a couple gallons of gas in my garage but i put fuel stabilizer in it when i filled it up. Just didnt use the blower much last year.
After you drain the gas out of the tank you can try to start it and let it run til it quits. Small engine guys will tell you that you should run them dry so the old gas isn't sitting in the carbBut at this point, do not run the blowe dry, correct? I should have done that a few months ago I guess. Having a now 3 year old and 7 month old gets in the way.
thanks. let me ask you this. How long will gas last with Stabil in it?Too late for the stabil now imo
According to Stabil....2 yrsthanks. let me ask you this. How long will gas last with Stabil in it?
I never have trouble with gas from previous year and I never use stabil. Lawn mower, weed Wacker, snow blower, pressure washer, I think you'll be fineSo am I ####ed?

I'm not a mechanic.### #### it. I just dont want to kill my new snow blower that I used 1.5 times.
Update pleaseI guess I will try to just start it and see what happens .... if it doesnt start the first time with the electric start, i will assume i need to do something about it.
The gas can i will see if my twp disposes of it if it is bad.
It started no problem. I just ran it dry and stored it in my shed.Update please
I was in the same spot and just dumped the gas into my car.Have a maintenance question as i prep for this coming storm. So last winter i forgot to run off the gas so its been sitting since then with a half full tank. I started the blower and im running it until the tank is empty and replacing with new gas. Question. I got gas about 2 years ago(5 gallons) and still have enough to use. Is it still good? Or should i get fresh gas from the gas station? I did add stabil to the gas container storing this gas when i bought it initially?
Second question. If recommended to get new fresh gas, where can i dump the gas thats still in there?
hmm i hadnt thought of this. might just do this. do cars handle old gas better than snow blowers?I was in the same spot and just dumped the gas into my car.
Don't necessarily handle it better, but it will be a much smaller percentage overall unless you have a very small tank in your car.hmm i hadnt thought of this. might just do this. do cars handle old gas better than snow blowers?
Why are you wasting a half tank of good gas?Have a maintenance question as i prep for this coming storm.

Yeah 3-5 gallons of still usable but not fresh gas intermingled with 12 gallons of new gas. ‘Tis nothing.Don't necessarily handle it better, but it will be a much smaller percentage overall unless you have a very small tank in your car.
Haha that’s what I got and just attempted to tune it up myself yesterday, I hate working on motorized stuff. It works good, not like a snowblower, but I need something I can carry from driveway to skating rink.I'm rocking a Toro CCR3650
I just hope she starts up this season. I had her tuned up about a month and a half ago but I haven't fired her up, yet. Last time I tuned her up, we got buried with 25" snowstorms every weekend for about a month.
Ive never used one but I've heard some good things about Snow Joe fwiw but i really dont know much about themBump. I've had an an electric (corded) Toro Power Curve 18" for 4-5 years and it works OK for the few bigger snowfalls we get every winter in Indianapolis, but with all of the improvements in the battery models over the past few years, I'm curious if I should look at one of those instead. It's a PITA for me to drag an extension cord all over the place.
Anyone have a newer battery-powered snowblower they'd recommend? With how little I use mine, I'm not interested in the maintenance required with a gas-powered one, so those are off the table for me. I'm also sort of interested in which manufacturers might have the best battery ecosystem if I want to look at eventually getting a battery-powered lawn mower, etc.

He has one of the single-stage models, definitely not the 2 stage. I personally will be going with a 2 stage model, not sure if it will be Ego or another brand.

Which one does he have? I don't want to pay the $ for the 2 stage. Yet I wonder how hard pushing the single stage would be and not sure how the auger propelled ego would handle the snowplow pile at the end of the driveway.
I'm in central NJ so when we get snow it's often wet or a mix rather than fluffy snow. My driveway is 2 cars wide, 2 cars long (slight incline) and maybe 100 feet of sidewalk. Only will have pavement/cement to shovel.
I was thinking about one of the Toro snowmasters (a hybrid). Around the same cost of a lower end 2 stage but is supposed to be easier to maneuver and faster to use.
Any thoughts?

I have a Toro Snowmaster and like it a lot. 3 downfalls of it are 1) I haven't found any chains to fit the wheels so it can be a pain in the right situation when the wheels spin and you have to help it. 2) If you get a wet heavy snow like we do in Iowa early in the season or early spring, it does plug up easier than some of the 2 stage models. 3) some times it struggles doing the end of the driveway after the snow plow has been through. Overall, it is a great snowblower that will handle pretty much anything a 2 stage will handle and it is considerably easier to move around that a bulky 2 stage. I can even lift it to get it in the back of my truck so I can go do the inlaw's driveway.Have a buddy who has an EGo and loves it. Haven't had any huge snow yet, but has handled 5-6" easily.Bump.
