Honda HSS928 28-Inch Two Stage Snow Blower (HSS928AATD)

The Honda HSS928AATD is a gas powered, two stage snow blower built to handle heavy snow clearing across large driveways, inclines, and icy ground. Powered by a commercial grade Honda GX270 OHV engine, it tackles deep drifts with a 28-inch clearing width and a 21.7-inch intake height. It suits homeowners who need reliable clearing capacity and strong traction on challenging terrain during harsh winter storms.

At the core of its performance is a clearing capacity of up to 1,900 pounds of snow per minute, throwing snow up to 52 feet away to keep cleared areas clear. The machine features an automotive-style DC electric key start, so starting the engine in freezing conditions requires minimal effort. The hydrostatic transmission gives you continuous speed adjustment in forward and reverse without gear shifting, while keeping the auger rotation speed constant regardless of your ground speed.

Traction and control are key design focus areas. The unit uses a dual track drive equipped with pliable, low temperature rubber tracks and gripping cleats, giving it steady balance on slopes, icy patches, and unpaved ground. You can also adjust the auger housing height on the fly using a thumb lever, allowing quick height changes for different surface conditions.

Because it is a commercial grade gas machine, it comes with standard maintenance requirements. You must check engine oil and fuel levels before every use, clear any obstructions from the auger housing and discharge chute, and follow the scheduled engine maintenance outlined in the owner manual. It comes fully assembled out of the box, so there is no initial setup work needed before adding fuel and oil.

Verdict: This two stage snow blower is an ideal choice for property owners dealing with heavy snowfall, steep driveways, or icy surfaces who need powerful throwing capability and reliable track traction. Its combination of electric start, hydrostatic drive, and adjustable auger height makes winter driveway maintenance efficient and manageable.
