Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Bought this last year (Mar 07).Looks like the model has a new handlebar, other than that it is identical to mine.If you want/need power, think Tim 'the Toolman', this is the machine for you.Minor nits:
1) handlebars don't seem strong enough, they flex easily.
2) paint easily taken off when adjusting nuts and bolts
3) finding the slowest forward speed setting is difficult, this machine wants to move down the driveway very quickly.
This evening it was easily throwing 5" of snow over 50ft. I could have buried the neighbor plowing his driveway at the same time.Be ready with a wrench because the machine vibrates as much as a Harley.Lastly, wear ear plugs, pulling it into and out of the garage was very painful.
Shipping was fast, it comes delivered on a palet.Takes about an hour to assemble, mainly setting up the handlebars.Overall a very nice machine, if you have doubts whether you need this much hp, go for the 8.5hp.

View larger diagram.Powerful, Reliable Engine with Electric Start
The PR1030ES is powered by a reliable 291-cc OHV engine with standard speed drive that is designed for use in colder climates. There are two ways to start up the engine: electric or traditional recoil starting. Electric starting fires up the engine by using the included power cord connected to a standard 120-volt outlet and simply pressing the electric start button located on the engine. The engine will fire up without priming.
The deep-tread 16-inch tires are powered for easy maneuvering over snowy terrain. The PR1030ES also features power steering for easy turns. The drive speed lever controls the snow thrower's speed and direction (forward/reverse). The traction drive lever allows the user to quickly engage or disengage the drive system.
Two-Stage Snow Removal Clears Deep Snow
With a wide 30-inch x 23-inch (W x H) intake and two-stage snow thrower functionality, the PR1030ES is able to throw snow more efficiently than a single-stage model. Two-stage snow thrower technology employs an auger with an additional impeller for greater efficiency--removing snow faster and throwing it farther. The adjustable skid plate allows for alterations to the height of the scraper bar for use on a variety of surfaces, including concrete, dirt, and ice.
The discharge chute and deflector are controlled remotely, allowing the snow to be directed away from the user and at various distances. An included tool facilitates quick cleaning of the discharge chute.
Conveniently Located Control Panel for Easy Operation
The PR1030ES features a convenient control panel for managing the various functions of the machine. Located between the comfortable loop handle grips, this panel allows the user to control the drive system's speed and direction, the deflector's angle and direction, steering, auger operation, and engage and disengage the drive system--all within arm's reach.
An integrated flood light illuminates the work path for easier removal of snow in low-light conditions.
The PR1030ES weighs 265 pounds and uses a 12-inch diameter auger and 12-inch diameter impeller configuration. It is backed by a two-year limited warranty.
