Powerful, easy to start Honda engine

The Honda GC160 OHC engine offers plenty of power to churn through the snow. Starting is easy - even in cold weather.

4 stroke engine - No mixing gas and oil

No mixing, no two-stroke smoke and stink, lower emissions, and better fuel economy.

Semi-self propelled auger drive = less work for you

The auger assist drive helps move the HS520 when the rubber-edged auger contacts the surface. A gentle upward pressure on the handle starts forward motion.

Clears up to 55 tons per hour, throws snow up to 26 feet

Don't let its small size fool you. The HS520 has the snow-clearing power of a snowblower twice its size. Just like you'd expect from a Honda.

Easy-to use chute direction control

Adjust the direction of the snow with just a quick flick of your hand. The loop shaped lever controls both the snow throwing direction and distance. The deflector can be adjusted from left to right 220 degrees.

Convenient "glove friendly" starter and control levers

The ignition switch, manual choke, starter grip and fuel cap are conveniently located for easy access. The starter grip is extra large to accommodate gloves or mittens. The access panel allows easy and safe operation, even with gloves on.

Easy to maintain

The HS520 is designed for ease of maintenance. Draining the engine oil and fuel are easy, saving time, frustration, and mess. The spark plug is very easy to access for replacement.

"Glove friendly" fuel cap

The large fuel cap and fuel opening make it easy to re-fuel. The unit has a fuel shut off valve for safe storage.

Light and maneuverable

Compact and convenient, the HS520 offers the performance of a larger snowblower with the benefits of a single stage unit.

Automatic decompression for easy starting

This system relieves compression in the engine during starting and then closes automatically to ensure full power after the engine starts.
