I have one and the MF better still run. LOL Barely needed it last year. Not counting on that again. Haven't started it yet this year. Need to do that soon and be sure it's ready to go when needed.
I started both of my Toro's a few weeks ago. I put a new scraper and rubber on the auger on mine. The kid has smoother concrete than I do. My old Snapper ran a couple years ago. It's a tank but it does auger through the snow.
