Why spend $1000 plus for a new one? Get prepared on the cheap.
Older lightly used 2 stage snow thrower. 5 forward speeds and 2 for reverse. Tecumseh 10HP engine with 120Vac Electric start. Emergency optional pull start.
Good overall condition due to light use and storage in a covered area. Tire picture showing "rubber vent piles" tells the usage story. Comes with original manual and not required ignition key.
After a long storage, started quickly after only adding ethanol free gasoline and a little cranking.
I can post a video if that helps with your decision. Willing to discuss local delivery.
