THROWS REALLY WELL...needs bigger tires

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

We recently bought a house and, well, living in Central New York leaves us with quite a bit of Lake Effect Snow so I knew we needed a blower.  We got the Troy-Built 26" 2-stage with a 208cc engine...THIS THING IS GREAT!!  Initially, it needed some coaxing getting started...it was, after all, its first start ever...but since then, I've had NO problem.  It starts right up if I either rope start or if I electric start it.  I used it for 4 hours before having to refill the gas tank.  The bonus shear pins, haven't had to be used yet, but the fact that they are right near the handle bars is a big plus...I don't have to go searching.   Throwing distance is approx ...

I love you troy!!

I love my Troy Bilt snowblower it is so dependable. It has no problem starting weather it is 35 degrees or  -35, it goes strong with it's 7 horsepower engine and serated auger blades.  When the city snowplows pile all of the snow in front of my driveway most of the time, or by the time I get to it  it's usually slushy and nasty stuff, I go to the shed and get out the snowblower and usually use the electric start (but you can use the pull start too Ha Ha) and it plows right through it. Troy bilt has a very god reputation as being well built, dependable, and reliable.  I cant wait till the snow hits here in Utah, I always pray for it and it never snows enough  for me because i just want to get out there and use my Troy Bilt and watch the people that drive by and stare wishing they had one.  All you people out there need to get to Lowes"they are the only company that carries Troy Bilt" and get one of these.

Very dependable during the cold weather, not matter what temp.

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

Troy built snowblower have been dependable over the yaers. Purchased one last year and it proved the test. With a Tecumseh engine you can't go wrong. Tecumseh over any other small engine is truly the best. They were designed for this weather whereas other small engines are not.

Troy-Built Snow Throwers, why buy anything else?

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I have owned this Troy-Built Squall 521 snow thrower for 2 years now, and it will usually start on the 1st pull EVERY time! Clears down to the pavement, throws snow Quite far and is dependable! So far, I have NO complaints OR problems. This snow thrower is also like the Cub Cadets Snow Throwers. Only difference is the color. This was actually Bought at a Cub Cadet Dealer. Also, since it has a 4 stroke/cycle engine and not a 2 stroke/cycle engine, you have no worry of mixing gas with oil. Verrrry well made, and easy to maintain!

It's a life saver on snowed in mornings

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

This has been a great investment.  Having a lot of snow this summer, it did a great job keeping the driveway clear.  Even with 6"+ of snow the length of my driveway (about 100'), it had no problem clearing the driveway.  The multiple speeds are convenient having different depths of snow.  Faster speeds make the lighter snows go a lot faster and slower speeds help control the blower with thicker snow falls.  Overall I am very pleased with this piece of equipment.  The only negative I have is the tires could have deeper tread.  I will need to buy chains to stop the slipping.
