Those 2 stage Toro’s are very loud and they do make your clothes stink.
I noticed one prob today, my old 1986 Toro had a crank to turn the chute the new one has a lever you got to reach down to turn it.
Yesterdays storm left huge snow drifts on my driveway.
While plowing through the the tall drifts the snow would catch the lever and move the chute.
Toro charges 200 bucks more for a remote chute moving thingy on the handle.....200 bucks for a couple of more pieces of plastic.
no thanks
I can deal with the prob....most storms around here aren’t like the one we had yesterday.
