..... Honda $nowblowers?

[fatlazyless]

Probably, the Aubuchon in Meredith is not really serious about selling their one Husqvarna snowblower, and just has it there for out-front-of-the-store decoration, and it gives their store black cat a place to explore at night, while awaiting a wondering mouse.

Aubuchon has a Massachusett's type of a price of $1149.99 for the same 24" model that Rand's in Plymouth is selling for $699. ...... while that price may sell it down in Mass ..... up here in NH ..... is probably just a store sidewalk decoration.

By the way, with the federal government somewhat shut down or something, will the monthly social security pay-outs still be happening ...... this may cause a big sales slowdown for $3300 Honda snowblowers .... forcing people to stick with their old machine ...... or shoveling with a shovel .... buddy, can yo spare a dime ..... my $3300 snowblower needs gas?

My parents have had a Honda snowblower with tracks since about 1985.
The machine still starts on the first or second pull and has only needed oil changes and spark plugs for 30 years...
Doesn't break down, doesn't fail to start.
They might be expensive, but I really think they are a high value machine.

I had an Ariens for 20 years, but it would bog down in the plowed snow at the end of the driveway and on many occasions I barely got it back up the hill from where my propane tanks are located. A number people swore that the Honda tracked model could deal with these. It does, and does it well. A lot more money than I would have liked to spend, but when its cold outside it's worth it. Easier to change the shear pins too. BTW, the Ariens was a great machine and still is taking care of my nephews needs. I would change the oil every year...the only maintenance.
