Honda HSS1332 31.9-Inch Two Stage Snow Blower (HSS1332AATD)

The Honda HSS1332 is a two stage gas snow blower built for serious snowfall on large driveways, inclines, and icy paths. Powered by a commercial grade Honda GX390 OHV engine, this machine removes heavy drifts without bogging down. It suits homeowners who need high volume snow moving capability and reliable traction on challenging terrain.

Performance centers on raw capacity and convenience. The 31.9-inch wide intake path and 21.7-inch clearing height process up to 2750 pounds of snow per minute, throwing it up to 56 feet away. Starting the engine requires minimal effort thanks to an automotive-style DC electric key start designed for cold weather operation. Ground drive is powered by pliable rubber tracks featuring sure-gripping cleats, keeping the unit stable on icy surfaces, rough ground, and steep inclines.

Operating the snow blower relies on simple, flexible controls. Its hydrostatic transmission lets you smoothly change forward and reverse speeds via a single lever without shifting gears or interrupting auger rotation speed. A thumb-operated lever adjusts auger housing height on the fly to match smooth pavement or uneven gravel surfaces. Best of all, the unit arrives fully assembled out of the box so you only need to check oil, fuel, hardware, and chutes before starting.

While this model provides impressive clearing power, it comes with the standard trade-offs of a commercial gas machine. You must perform regular maintenance as outlined in the owner manual, including checking engine oil and fuel levels before every clearing session. It is also a substantial investment compared to basic single stage units, and gas storage rules apply.

Verdict: If you face deep snowfalls, steep driveways, or icy inclines, the Honda HSS1332 delivers massive clearing power and unmatched track traction. It is an outstanding choice for property owners who want commercial performance, effortless electric starting, and zero setup out of the box.

Yes. The hydrostatic drive system allows you to adjust your forward or backward ground speed using a lever without changing the auger rotation speed.
