Snowblower - End of season sales?

[nate larson]

Does anyone know of any stores that puts snowblowers on sale towards the end of winter? I am looking to pick up a single stage toro or honda.

I was looking a couple of weeks ago and saw a lot of the single stage rigs at the Hugo Feed Mill. They told me that pretty much everything has been sold out and there are no great deals left. I was at the FF in Oakdale a week or so ago and they only had 3 or 4 rigs left on the floor. You may be able to score a single stage if you get out before the big snow today. According to the radio you have 58 minutes before it hits the metro.

I know that the Sears,Fleet Farm, and some smaller dealers have closeouts when they have some left. But with the snow still coming, there are not ready to close them back savers out!

I am willing to wait until closer to spring. I just want to get a good deal on one. I can manage with the shovel for the rest of this winter. I agree that they will probably wait to put them on sale now that winter is back again. I should have tried to buy one when it was in the 50's earlier this week.

Those who've been waiting to pull the trigger are probably running out to get one this morning!!! LOL! The thought of shoveling another foot plus snowfall would put me over the edge.

I'm soooo glad I bought one this year, its received plenty of use!

[Ralph Wiggum]

LOL, I ran over to the local hardware store for a few bolts this morning and saw two go out the door

Glad I bought one this year, too!

2 years ago got mine at Lowes on clearance. Took reciept back couple weeks to a month later, they scanned it and gave me another $125 or so back in cash because after I bought it, it went further on sale. My $700 snowblower ran me about $400-450 after it was said and done.

Save your pennies and buy a 2 stage........single stages are worthless IMO in MN.

[nate larson]

A single stage is plenty for us suburban 2 stall garage folks. Both of my neighbors have them and they were able to handle snowmagadden back in December. I would rather have a 2 stage but we simply don't have room for it in our garage...

Nate, the physical size of the blower doesn't dictate if it's a two or single stage; unless you're talking about one of those small wheeled u-shaped handle blowers. There's 5hp two stage blowers not much physically larger than those.

[gregg52]

check c list theres lots of good deals on there

[nate larson]

Ufda...shoveling sucked this morning! Hopefully this is the last big snowfall of the year. Not really interested in buying a used one unless I know the person selling it.

I am looking for one of these little guys.

That's the exact one I just unwrapped my neighbor's dog cable from. She's very happy with its performance. I tried it a little after fixing it and it really throws the unplowed snow good. I don't know how it performs on plowed banked snow. Myself, I rather have the metal auger two stage. Not much larger in size than this one and I know it'll walk through plowed banks. That's just my opinion though.

I think dtro was looking to sell one of these!

Bieswengers in New brighton still has some left. I have a Toro single stage 6.5 hp and there isn't much anything I can't move.

[JohnMickish]

If your looking for a killer deal wait until July and check either the big online auction place or the C list place. You can get some super deals from people that either need the cash or are moving.

Nobody thinks of snowblowers in the summer, that's why they are the cheapest.

My (10 yr old) toro snow pup took a duce last weekend. She was an excellent single stage. I will be snatching up a 2-stage this weekend hopefully.

Over 6", or heavy snow the single was not powerful enough, givin I have a 300 ft driveway, and over 8" my buddy plows it out with his truck.....I will not buy another single stage. They just cant take on the plowed and packed snow.

If your finances...err spouse allow it, go big. IMO
