Buying Large 2 Stage Snowblowers?

Dec 14, 2007 by Craig C | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

 My neighbor has a real business, and do not kill the snow during the winter. He always buys Craftsman blowers 2 stage solid for his job. Looks like he still has problems with them, and they are not even a year!

 Undoubtedly, he gets what he pays for. The craftsman requires a smaller investment approval, but time costs money, too. The less expensive machines may have the same engine that more expensive models, but cadres and transmissions are not as important.

"Sales were uncommonly going strong, up until January,'' he said. "Then it really slowed down."

For those who transfer and repair snowblowers, the absence of snow this season after two straight winters of unusually recondite snow has had a chilling effect on late-season sales and servicing requests, and has made ordering new machines for next year seem like a roll of the dice.

"It's a conundrum," said Paul Witkowski, holder of Chris & Bud Lawn Mower Inc. in Fair Lawn , who sells Ariens and Toro snowblowers, and worries about being saddled with unsold inventory. "If you get stuck with those machines, it can spunk you out of business."

During the past three years, snowblower manufacturers and distributors went from burgeoning to bust along with a huge swing in snow accumulation totals.

Planalytics, a marketing inquiry firm in Berwyn, Pa., estimates unseasonably mild weather has driven down inquire 24 percent in the snow removal industry in the current mellow from a year earlier.
