I'm looking at the 826, does your have the plastic joystick for the chute? How has that held up, if you have that?I have about a 6 year old Toro 1028 that has handled all the storms we've had the past few years without fail. I like that it has none of those stupid shear pins that always break at the worst time. I did a fair amount of research before I bought mine and Toro overall seemed to have a pretty good reputation. I also knew several people that had them and liked them. I would have probably went with an Ariens next after Toro.
I did look into those three stage cub cadets but at the time they had a lot of really bad reviews, maybe that has changed since then but who knows.
Yep mine has that joystick and haven't had or heard of any issues with others. They have had that design for a long time so they must not have to many issues. I do see that they went back to a metal chute, my entire chute assembly is composite. I haven't had any issues with that either but they must have for them to switch back.I'm looking at the 826, does your have the plastic joystick for the chute? How has that held up, if you have that?

Hint buy the least economical one known to man, accelerate the end of the planet to breakneck speed…presto no more snowAny electric models for those of us that care about global warming?
