Got one 2 years ago as a back up to my ATV plow setup.  Gone thru 1 tank of gas.  Find the choke system the only beef.   Be interesting to see how it starts this year using the rip cord.

Oh..you got the same model?  Or a different one?

The only thing I'm "iffy" about is the "Personal Pace" self propel system.

Best thing about a Toro is the no clog shute.  You can blow slush out of those things and they don't clog.

This and they have no shear pins to dick around with in the freezing cold.  I bought a 1028 OHXE 4 years ago and it's a beast.  I dug it out of the shed today and put it in the garage.

It replaced my old Toro 824 Powershift that was just too small.

Honestly Ron I don't know what model it is.  I left it under the rear deck this year and I have not gone to res-erect it yet.   It's just that the gas off/on and choke settings are not that well marked as to what is open and closed.  Recall it has 7 forward speeds and 2 reverse.  It can really go if you choose.  I rate it as a good purchase.

New glasses !

They took my foreign eye prescription/ordannance. Quite easy. Cheaper than it would have been had I done it in Germany (and less of a language barrier).

Lowes had a buy 1 get 1 50% off deal last weekend so grabbed these two Gladiator storage cabinets.  About $400 for both
Impressed with them.  Well made, and there's about 100 screws and bolts in the things so they are solid as hell.

I tried  to watch a actual video on a total hip replacement got as far as they start to spread the cut open then turned it off 😱
Maybe I should start with an animated video first
This may not be a DIY job

Man up, get a local and watch your own ;D

A friend was awake for a knee replacement, he said you could feel them hammering in the replacement   :o
