a lot of the gp came factory with a chevy engine. my 83 came stock with a
chevy 305 and a crap ass 250c tranny. swapped it out for 350 backed by a
TH350 with a stage II shift kit. and stayed chevy cause it was cheaper and
dropped right back in place of the 305.
@joeraptor1 yes, it depends if you gonna use it commercially or just for
your own driveway, for a personal driveway i'd get the 418, cus when it
can't handle it the 826 would take over, but the 621 is a do it all, kinda
snowblower, that can handle the 12 inch plus stuff, and handle the 1 inch
stuff. I fit both a 418 and a 621 under my stairs in the garage. remember
that driveway in the video is a big driveway,plus the sidewalk around the
whole place. if i had to have only 1, it would be the 621
Great video. I was the fellow that asked you on the last video if the 418
would compliment my 826 toro. Thanks for letting me see what this machine
can do. It's a pretty good little machine but it seems to take a while to
complete a job. I live in the Toronto, Ontario area. The 418 costs $399 for
non-electric start and $499 electric start. The entry level toro 621r model
costs $559. Seems like the 621 might be a better choice but it's so big and
I'm not sure if I could fit it in my garage.
@poisedonis Thanks for the advice. Do you think the 621 can handle the
stuff the plow leaves at the end of the driveway? I could look at getting
the 621 and selling the 826 but that would be hard to do as I love the
machine. You got your units at Home Depot. Do they still have that policy
of beating the lowest price by 10%. They want $439 for the 418 but the
local dealers sell it for $399. If I could get 10% off of that, I'd be able
to pick up the 418 for $360.
@poisedonis I do my driveway plus my two neighbours while they spend the
winter in Florida. My driveway and walkway is about 2500 sq feet. The other
two driveways and walks are about 1200 sq. feet each. I saw a neat little
single stage Craftsman at Sears today. Electric start, joystick control of
the chute, 205 cc Briggs...$549 on sale. Definitely not the quality of toro
but about $250 cheaper while on sale. Does the chute on that 621 come down
like on the 418?
@joeraptor1 the 621 can handle the end driveway stufff, but still the 826
would do it better, but i purposely do the end driveway stuff just to see
how well it does. im not sure about home depots latest prices, but you can
always try to get them to match, ,. do u have a big driveway?
@joeraptor1 yes sears and canadian tire have some nice single stagers, the
621 chutes can go up and down with the blue handle,, but the chute itself
needs to be unscrewed if u want to load it into the car, while the 418
chute can be removed easier with a screw knob.
u can get this type between 425 to 499,, but canadian tire has some models
a bit cheaper, but the 418 is easier to fit into the car, tell your wife u
need it as a christmas present.
ya one of the motor mounts broke. but was still running like a champ. 99x
in the truck heat is my buddy. i was running an sbc in that car. the week
before i ran the original 307 in forest but had problems with it so pulled
the motor
That was you? I was rooting for you, hence why I filmed you the most. You
made a lot of noise. Now that's good driving! sucks how you went out
though, I was wondering why it ended like that.
