Anybody want a Snow Blower - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

And, no, that is not what you can get this weekend over on 4th st.

Don't have full details, but they are

Ryobi/MTD 5HP, 21" electric start, single stage. Barely used...Probably about $200 each. Retail new about $500. Anybody want one. Coming from So Cal. Matt, can you hook us up with shipping? Should be fine for Reno snow.

Wait, you found someone selling multiple, "barely used" snowblowers... from SoCal?

Hey, that's not shady at all! Hook us up!

MattR · 2004-12-31, 07:52 AM

yeah, I'm interested, and of course we can hook up shipping...I'm the King!

For $200 Bucks why not...You could probably bring it up here and sell for 400 easy.

Let me know Dean.

What is going on here.

Some kind of cool snowblower s0-cal / reno cartel.

FYI: single stage means wimpy deck snowblower. 2 stage is the typical blower you see everywhere. I have a single stage honda 5 hp that I bought brand new in Truckee for $500. It's great for decks, but on uneven pavement or heavy snow it does struggle.

Single stage: One set of augers that break up snow and shoot through funnel.

Two Stage: Two sets of augers that break up snow and send through a third auger/fan through funnel........way better.

Also, single stage are generally not self propelled.

Thanks for the comments. I know 2 stage is better, but getting into one of those for under $500 is pretty tough, even used.

The single stage appear to mostly have reinforced "rubber" augers that help propel them forward at least.

I think they will do for Reno snow which is usually 6" or under a couple times a year. I would never have anything less than treaded 2 stage for your area.

Here may be a decent deal on a Reno sized blower if it stays under say $120-150
