"Power Max™ Auger System
A breakthrough in snowthrowing technology, the Power Max™ auger system handles more snow in less time to get the job done fast! This revolutionary system meters snow intake. Snow that's not immediately thrown, is returned back into the auger, providing maximum impeller speed and snowthrowing velocity. The expanded chute base with its inverted, funnel shaped design has a larger opening and a non-stick surface to minimize snow build up." toro.com

Toro Snowblowers Power Max 828LXE - Gas Two Stage Snowthrower The revolutionary design of the Power Max auger system and Quick Stick chute control make this two stage performer powerful yet a breeze to use.

Toro Freewheel Steering, available on all 28" models, puts effortless control and maneuverability at your fingertips. Backed by a two year full warranty, Power Max snowthrowers are built to last, with a rugged auger gear case, 14-gauge welded steel auger housing and a proven drive system.

Every Power Max comes equipped with an electric starter and features six forward and two reverse speeds. At the helm of the Power Max, you're always in full control because you can independently operate each wheel with just the flex of a finger. Power Max's Freewheel Steering enables you to turn precisely and evenly. You won't get that "whiplash" feeling that differential equipped snowthrowers give you around turns when their wheels spin at different speeds.

Pivot easily at the end of a row. Maneuver Power Max into the garage without having to wrestle it. Pull it backward without having to stop and shift into reverse. And get maximum traction on every surface, all the time. Change chute direction and plume elevation with an ingenious joystick control that's quick, easy and even fun. Move it sideways for direction, forward and back for elevation. No more reaching, bending, twirling or cranking.

The Qick Stick mechanical action stays smooth and precise, even in frigid weather, enabling you to quickly and easily put snow exactly where you want it. Isn't that what snowthrowing is all about? FEATURES Power Max™ Auger System: A breakthrough in snowthrowing technology, the Power Max™ auger system handles more snow in less time to get the job done fast!
