Editorial Review

After a snowy night, clear sidewalks and driveways of slippery powder with this efficient, two-stage snow thrower from YardMachines. An 8HP four-cycle Tecumseh engine powers the thrower as it effectively blows a 26-inch wide path through snowfall up to 21 inches deep. Equipped with six forward speeds and two reverse, this thrower also has an electric starter. Its mechanical, governing, compression release function ensures constant power and easy starts on cold mornings. A clutch lock allows users to operate the thrower with one hand, leaving the other free to adjust a 5-inch polymer chute. The chute’s construction prevents clogging, rusting, and freezing, rotating up to 180 degrees to send snow away from walkways. A 12-inch impeller and a serrated auger design help eradicate hard sheets of ice or snow pack. Sturdy, 15-inch SnoHog tires provide traction in slick winter conditions.Read more

Editorial Review

Tackle the longest driveway or brave the toughest blizzard with this rugged powerhouse. A ten-horsepower, two-stage Tecumseh engine rumbles to life effortlessly--thanks to an electric starting mechanism--then propels itself forward so that this heavyweight machine actually feels lighter than a shovel. Five forward speeds, two reverse speeds, and Sno-Hog tires on oversized 15- by 5-inch wheels make maneuvering a breeze--even in wet, heavy snow or slippery conditions. Snow as high as 21 inches is cleared to a width of two feet. If snow and ice clog the output chute, an included clearing device helps remove it safely. This YardMachines snow thrower weighs 205 pounds for shipping, and arrives with the oil needed for operation. Read more

31AE6GLF701 8.5HP 26-Inch 2-Stage Snow
This machine failed to provide what the manufacturer promissed.
A good machine, but did not received all that was promised.
I just have unpacked, tighten two screws to put the handle bar with controls (that is all the assembly work I had to do), poured some gasoline, checked the engine oil which was already there, then started a few times both using electric and coil. The engine never failed to start so far. coil Starting is so reliable so far that I am yet to see if I really need the electric start at all.

Snow removal tank
Living in Northern Ontario we are use to heavy snowfalls. This is the perfect machine for snow removal. It doesn't have all the fancy options you don't need but it is one brute of a snowblower. It will clear as much and how much snow you need to remove without taking a second pass and throw it 35+ feet horizontally not arc lenght as the other manufactures quote. I have owned various snowblowers some very well reconized brand names but they didn't have the brute power for heaving snow wet or fluffy as this machine. It is a big blower but it handles itself very well. No sore backs from this snowblower. Easy to assemble and no issues with the unit. After break-in I use synthetic oil in motor. I added drift cutters and tire chains for extra security, very worthwhile options. Bargains can be had on this model as it goes on sale. I paid $1199.95 for this blower and free delivery. You can't beat that.

Basically, best 'blower for the buck byfar
Apart from the attachment for the now-out-of-print Gravely two wheeled tractor (deservedly so -- you paid ~$5K and the wheels were extra!!), I believe this is the only snowblower on the market with a 16 inch impeller. (Ariens' biggest unit has a 14 inch impeller). IMO a big impeller diameter is key because the outer edge travels faster and throws snow farther/better.
Kneel before me.

Good, but not the best track snow thrower
I bought my yardman thru Amazon 2 years ago and it still runs just as well with or without the electric start. It still look brand new also. I live in the northeast so I do get enough use out of it. I even do my neighbors driveway with it. The reason I got the tracks instead of wheels is because I live on a hill and I wanted to make sure I could go up and down with ease, although I probably could have saved some money by getting chains put on a wheeled model. As another reviewer said, the steering is a bonus, especially for the snow thrower with tracks. My brother-in-law owns the Honda with tracks and it cost him about $1000.00 more with no steering. Also this come with a halogen light built in, with the Honda, you have to purchase a light kit, another $150.00 but the yardman does not throw the snow nearly as far as the Honda. The specs say it will throw snow up to 40 feet. I have tried it in all conditions,blizzard, wet, light snow and the most I have ever gotten was about 25 ft. I've seen the Honda throw it better than 50ft. If you need to do a huge area, distance is an important feature. Also, newer models have the joystick chute rotation which I think is a must have. I wish they sold a conversion kit for this model. I would save a lot of time. Overall, this is a very good snowthrower and it has not given me any problems in 2+ yrs of duty, but I would definitely recommend going with a chute rotation
MTD makes Sears as well as Yard Man snow throwers
I own an MTD manufactured Sears track drive snow thrower almost exactly like the Yard Man model shown here.My MTD made Sears machine is now 6 1/2 years old.I do my own service and buy MTD parts because they are the same and cheaper once you make the model number switch.You should Keep a spare friction wheel rubber and drive belt and auger belts ( U need 2 auger belts for one change ) along with a few extra shear bolts in your personal inventory.Changing all these items is really easy but you need to try this in warm weather not during a blizzard when you discover they need changing.All these items last 3-4 years of normal use.Use 100% synthetic oil in the engine it does not thicken when cold like ordinary oil.Also never fill the gas tank unless with gasoline that has fuel stabilizer added to it.I installed a Briggs & Stratton in line fuel shut-off valve, purchased for about 5 bucks, and I run the fuel out each time I shut off the machine.Mine is easy to start as a result, even without the electric start.CR has consistently rated these machines at the top of their charts for many years.They are an excellent buy, and can be maintained by any person who is handy with a set of ordinary tools.Read the owners manual, learn the adjustments ( they are moronically easy to do) and this simple machine will save you from the back breaking work of shoveling snow, and never let you down.MTD has refined the machine over the years and it works well, as CR learned when they compared ( the wheeled version) to other machines.

Great Rig
I have two of these for my two homes.I really love track drive snowthrowers, especially cause one of my homes has a very steep driveway, and these rigs will always go up the hill.
