Amazing Value
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second winter and it has been a great machine. I have broke two shear pins, due to user hitting fallen branches that were buried in the snow. No fault of the machine it did what it was suppose to do. We have had heavy wet snow and very light powder that packed with high winds, the machine just loads up and eats and throws the snow. Using premium gas with no ethanol I had zero issues starting or running while being worked hard. My driveway is 150' long butting up to a county road, even with a foot of snow and high winds I can clear the drive in an hour. Machine performs like a champ I highly recommend it. I see no reason to upgrade to a track drive, just add tire chains and the machine becomes a beast. Hand warmers could be better, well the switch for them is in a horrible position and easy to turned off when working, nothing a piece of duct tape cant't solve to keep from being turned off accidently. All in all the only flaw is the placement of the hand warmer switch. Highly recommend

Biggest Regret of a Purchase
I bought this snow blower in November of 2017. We only had 2 decent snowfalls that winter that I was able to use it. This thing breaks shear pins like crazy. I've already gone through as many as 6 shear pins to clear 1 driveway. I figured it was my first 3 stage snowblower and that I was operating it incorrectly. The winter of 2018 was mild with only 1 or 2 more snowfalls with the winter of 2019 I did not even use this machine because it was so mild.
So with that usage history being said, I've only used this machine 5 to 10 times. So far in 10 uses I've gone through 30 shear pins, 3 auger belts, the springs inside both broke, and quite honestly every snowfall I spend more time doing these "maintenance repairs" more than i spend actually blowing the snow. It works great when it works, but quite honestly for 1700 dollars I expected a lot more quality from this machine that it wouldn't constantly be breaking down on me. The motor is very strong, I will say that, however to me it seems like the motor has more power than the rest of the snowblower can handle. The headlights are very bright and the hand warmers work awesome, but that is useless if the machine is being worked on. We just had close to 30 inches of snow, and it went right through it for about a half hour before everything started to go to hell once again with it. I spent 1.5 hours snow blowing, and over 3 hours doing these same "maintenance repairs". I am very disappointed in this unit and if I was able to ship it back to Cub Cadet I would do it in a heartbeat and order a different brand.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT ORDERING THIS UNIT (3X30HD). My parents had a small craftsman snowblower for 15 years and we never had problems like I do with this machine. I could count on 1 hand how many shear pins broke on that machine in 15 years with a lot of those years having 24" + snowfalls.
I will probably get rid of this unit at a huge loss in money and get an Ariens Professional.

Paint chipping off

Well built
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this new snowblower in August, as any snowblower availability becomes 'hard to find' during the peak of the winter season here in the NorthEast. Did not give five stars as there is no snow here yet. Will submit another review after the snow flies and I use the snowblower.

A big NO to wet snow
This is my second season for this big snowblower. Regular snow it's a beast, wet heavy snow unless you go in 1st gear, even for a couple inches it's plugs after a couple feet. Was told this would handle wet heavy snow, only in 1st gear then I still have to be watchful. I don't recommend.

Excellent machine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a 930SWE from 2007, it was the best snowblower I ever owned, When my wife bought this 3x 30" for me as a Christmas gift I almost hated to give the other one up, but this one is even better than the last one

Doesn’t like to work
Quits after 20 minutes. Just shuts down as soon as it warms up. What a waste of $$.
