Honda HSS724 electric start, track drive. Weighs in at #254. I got it to replace my old one, which has been running flawlessly for a decade or so which was also a Honda track drive, that I gave to my daughter.
GF used the old one mainly for clearing the deck in back. In reverse the thing just walked up the steps like nothing. The new one has independent left and right drive clutches (which is how you turn the thing) and a hydraulic lift assist to change the height of the auger, LED light and of course electric start because the GF has a bad shoulder or something. Not sure what. But irregardless, I outsmarted her. This one is longer than the old one so GF can barely make the turn at the top of the steps. So now she has to shovel the deck by hand.
