I have owned 4 Toro snowblowers. First, I must say they have good motors and auger system, but the cables, and I mean all cables, on my new 38634 have broken .
I thought the ball control would be great but to replace the up/down cable is a major pain to replace. Also if you leave it in the down position it freezes in that position until you exercise it manually. The left to right cable freezes at the gear engagement point until you pull the cover off and reset it.
The drive cables stretch and are too skinny - had to replace both sides. Since I live in Vermont in the mountains, it gets a workout beyond your normal city driveway.
This is the first new snowblower I bought and am disappointed it needs to be babied so much. I leave it in a unheated shed and wipe it off after every use.
One other problem is the hole for snow to fall through fills up with snow. All wrong on the shape and angle. And last, the key to shutdown the motor don't work - when you pull it out it keeps on running. I will have to fix that next.
Overall it throws snow great but I always have to fix something on it. Not cheap for cables, will not buy another.
P.S. - My old 5 21 Toro with manual chute and real on off key still works great but its a old school one so there you go Toro.
