This makes a big difference so the slush does not get stuck and clogged.

In the winter time, spraying everything, augers and chute with Canola fry pan, cooking spray is good, too.

A new Troy-Bilt 2410 now costs $899, as of last winter, and there's always a few 2410 machines on Craigslist for $300.

If it needs a repair beyond your ability, suggest you take it to Lakeport Power Equipment, Laconia ..... in facebook.

So, what is the price for this totally super-duper electric Ego 2 SNT2400 two-stage, super high torque snowblower ..... battery & charger NOT included ..... Amazon price ... new-$1399 ...... yes, $1399 ..... Holy Mackerel! ..... yikes ....$1399 without a battery & charger vs $300-used on Craigslist for a good, usable, gasoline powered Troy-Bilt 2410 with maybe five years working life left in it. ....

With a used $300 Troy-bilt you will be praying for big deep heavy snow!
Maybe just go to Lowes...

Use your Lowes Card and get 5% off.

That way you have extra batteries and charger to also handle the summer tools without all the need to buy them as a kit.
