Toro Power Max® 826 OAE 28-Inch Two-Stage Gas Snow Blower
252cc Premium OHV Engine, 28-Inch Clearing Width, Quick Stick® Control & Triggerless Steering
Take on whatever winter throws your way with the Toro Power Max® 826 OAE 28-Inch Two-Stage Gas Snow Blower. Built for demanding residential snow removal, this powerful machine combines a 252cc Toro Premium 4-cycle OHV engine, electric start, self-propelled drive, and advanced snow-management technology to help clear heavy and wet snow efficiently.
The Power Max® 826 OAE can clear snow up to 28 inches wide and 21 inches deep, while throwing snow up to 45 feet. Its Anti-Clogging System (ACS) meters snow intake to help reduce clogging and optimize clearing performance, while the heavy-duty auger system is designed without shear pins. When the auger encounters a hard object, the engine is designed to stall intentionally to help avoid damage.
For precise snow placement, the Quick Stick® control provides one-handed control of the steel chute and deflector with 200-degree rotation. Triggerless steering enables smooth, tight turning without steering triggers or levers, while the friction-disc drive system provides six forward speeds and two reverse speeds.
