28-in. 357cc 3-Stage Gas Snow Blower
When winter brings heavy, wet, snow, you need a machine that can handle the task. The 28-in. 3-stage snow blower takes snow blowing to the next level. The third stage accelerator spins 10 times the speed of the augers, breaking down the heaviest, wettest snow before throwing it out of the high-impact, clog-resistant polymer chute. Equipped with Touch N’ Turn™ trigger-controlled power steering and heated grips, allowing you to quickly adjust your direction with one finger while keeping your hands warm. The Just One Hand® operation lets you guide your Troy-Bilt snow blower with literally one hand, allowing you to adjust the chute, speed and other controls without disengaging the drive and airless tires are maintenance free and will never go flat.
