Q: Can I use this for my deck, the deck is Timber tech!

a year ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hi, Jessica! Thanks for your question. Yes, this model #38474, is a single-stage snowblower — single-stage blowers are best used on smooth concrete and asphalt surfaces as the curved paddle is designed to engage with the pavement and may pick up loose items. That said, it is equipped with curved rubber paddles that come in contact with the ground that may not damage the wood, however, if there are any loose items it will pick them up and could potentially cause damage to the deck. Hope this helps, thanks!

Q: what does single staged mean?

3 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hi, Bobby! Thanks so much for your question. The term “single-stage” refers to the amount of steps required to shoot snow out of the machine. In our single-stage models, there’s one auger spinning fast and delivering the snow out of the chute (one step). In two-stage models, there’s a slower-moving auger to break up and direct snow to the impeller, which then pushes snow out of the chute (two steps). Our single-stage snow blower line is recommended for use on pavement surfaces, moderate sopes, small driveways, walkways, and patios and 2-9” of snow. Hope this helps, thanks!

As expected so far

21 days ago
This is our 3rd Toro snowblower. The 1st, a smaller one lasted almost 10 years. The second almost 20 years. No snow yet, I just wanted to check things out. Followed the first start instructions and worked as stated. We live in the Quad Cities area of Il., so don't really need a real big one. I've always bragged to neighbors and family, that every year, 5 pumps and 2 pulls and they start. Always follow the storage instructions. BUT ONE big tip is give a slow pull till you feel the pressure, stop when it's at the middle of harder part of the pull. Takes a time or two to get it right. This closes the cylinder and keeps any moisture out.

Yes, I recommend this product.
