Power, Power, Power!
I just bought the 3X 30" HD a couple months ago. I actually pre-ordered it last spring. We recently had a 9" heavy, dense snowfall. The 3X 30" HD performed like nothing else. It started right up on a cold start of 10 degrees F. The frozen, crusty pile of snow left by the snow plow was no match. It powered right through. My biggest concern prior to purchasing was the shear pin issues posted by others. There were no shear pin issues despite the heavy load. I would expect you would want the shear pin to shear if you hit something solid. This wasn't the case and no worry under normal, heavy operation. I even geared up for a short bit to test and no problem. It just effortlessly did its job. I waited 20 years too long.

Power house!
Just bought it today after a 6-8 inch fairly heavy snow. The more you feed it, the further it throws! Just a real brute! I think i became the envy of the neighborhood! I thought the speeds were good but I can't figure out why they bother with reverse...too slow to use (so was the last brand for what its worth). I did manage to feed too much to fast and plug the drive. Just had to clear it good and all was well...no pins sheared. The one handed operation didn't seem to stick at first use but came back after i got off work and it ends up being fine. Can only lift the auger hand...I would of liked to be able to lift the drive hand a few times. Very happy with my purchase :)

Has Power But
This snowblower has plenty of power but. I purchased this snowblower in 2018. I have used it 5 times and every time the shear pins on the front yellow wheel and the main auger where the snow exits the chute the shear pins break. I have used it today after a dry 5" snow fall and same issue the pins keep breaking in the same spots.I'm tempted to put a bolt in these spots. I would not recommend this snowblower for the money and inconvenience after fairly light snowfalls.

Total waste of money
We have tried snow clearing our road with this 'flagship' model of Club Cadet and have had nothing but trouble. It feels a solid machine. All works well (light, hand warmers, starter etc) except it is absolutely useless for blowing snow. Yesterday our neighbour cleared his driveway with a flimsy small blower (9.1 HP), no fancy technology and it worked a dream. I asked to try it out on my drive where my club cadet gave up completely and with this little blue blower I tore through the snow without ever getting stuck. So, my disappointment with all the talk about Club Cadet's flagship thrower is huge. No more Club Cadet for us. So much money wasted!

Powerful snow thrower
Purchased this as a replacement (20 yr. old Troy-Bilt) just in time for our third Nor' Easter this month. Powered through 6" of heavy wet snow without hesitating. I also purchased the optional cab enclosure as most of our storms are accompanied with a strong North wind. The controls are straight forward and the cab enclosure provides excellent visibility. I especially like the side reflective strips on the enclosure for night time snow removal. The three LED headlights also provide excellent visibility. Maybe my kids will do all the snow blowing for me!

My NJ Review from
Doesn’t work as advertised.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Like many other postings I find that I am constantly breaking shear pins when going through heavy snow. Also, for as big as this machine is it can’t handle wet snow at all. The chute gets easily clogged and the snow just piles up in the 3x auger. I have only used this a few times over the past two years and had the drive belt already snap during use. Apparently ice can get into the pulley area causing the belt to be damaged. I honestly get more effort out of my 179cc craftsman two-stage then I do with this unit. Which is disappointing based on the cost of this machine.

Complete Waste of Money
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just purchased this snowblower and it is a 100% complete waste of money. For $1700 it shouldn't clog every 5 feet and have enough power to throw snow more than 2 feet. It never was able to even meet more less exceed any of the specs or pictures listed on the website. I'm hoping I can return it was just purchased. I'm still shocked it preformed so bad. It could literally only handle about 3 inches of snow. This machine will do nothing like the pictures show

Flawed Auger Design
I live in the Colorado foothills where we have had 4 to 8" snowfalls about once a week lately. I purchased the 3X 30" HD model a little over a month ago and have now used it on 5 snowfalls. This Cub Cadet 3-stage does not clear snow when there is any slush layer at the bottom of the snow. The snow just piles up in front of the snowblower as the auger clogs up. I will say that the engine provides plenty of power and I have not broken any shear pins as some other reviewers have mentioned. Most of our snowfalls here result in some slush as the snow initially falls on warm asphalt. I find the snow clearing ability of the auger to be very poor for a typical snowfall here. I bought this snowblower to replace an Ariens 2-stage machine that performed well for 11 years until the engine died. I deeply regret buying this Cub Cadet snowblower. It does not perform nearly as well as my old 2-stage machine.
