First one i ever seen, haha you can tell im not from up north.

 

[YAMAHAULER]

yeah well I paid a grand for it brand new last November and only used it twice last winter to snowblow my 25 foot driveway but ya know if I get rid of it this next winter will be the winter of the century.lol

I just don't think the WIFE will let me trade the blower for the 01 warrior

 

[dragonbug2004]

I would trade in a heart beat. But we don't get enough snow down here for a blower. Hell, we get any accumulation on the ground the whole state shuts down. And everybody runs to the grocery store and buys 6 gal. of milk and 4 loafs of bread. ( don't understand it, I've even asked someone, beer I could see)

 

[YAMAHAULER]

so what do you guys think trade my snowblower for the 01 warrior or not?

 

[N3VER]

depends on the condition of the 01 warrior. Warrior can be use year round and are ahell of alot funner then a blower. How bout get the warrior and add chains and snow plow:slayer:

Edit: OHHHH just seen the pics of the Warrior. Looks like a fixer up er. Maybe if they tossed in some cash?

 

[YAMAHAULER]

he also tried telling me the tires are in good shape too they look to be a little worn down in my opinion

my brand new snowblower

That's a nice Snow Blower! I didn't realize that you got that much snow, in your area. How much do you normally get in a year?

I live at 6900ft and have an old 24" and will still use it, on some years, until June.

(Sorry, this isn't answering your original question)

we usually get an average of around 30" but have had many years where we had gotten 100"+ in the 3 to 4 months we have winter usually from December through April are our biggest snowfall months but this last year we only had 1 snow storm and we got a miniscule 14" through out winter

Thanks for the answer, but that sucks for the weather and water.......

the guy tells me today the warrior runs but needs to be pulled by another wheeler to get it to start and when running it has a miss kinda sounds like my old 94 that had a wire grounding out by the rear brake resevior I told him to get better pics of it and I might think about it if he threw in some cash also since he'd be getting a brand new snowblower and the warrior needs some work before it would be ridable so we will see how it plays out

 

[akaguppy]

yeah i would try to get some cash in your hand if ya did the trade. i m always a little worried when someone here says the tires are in great shape, plenty of tread and it turns out that they are not lol makes me wonder what else he is hyping up

 

[YAMAHAULER]

well I offered my blower for the warrior+ $300 cash so we will see what he says

 

[YAMAHAULER]

he is delivering the warrior and giving me $200 cash for my blower

 

[trey]

Sounds ok to me. We dont have snow here in texas and i dont know much about blowers but whats the resale value on them? In a few years and a little work on the warrior it will probably be worth more than the blower.

 

[bones]

your gonna need these lol http://www.ebay.ca/itm/OEM-FACTORY-...Accessories&hash=item4d01366590#ht_500wt_1054

 

[YAMAHAULER]

gonna need a rear skid too

 

[YAMAHAULER]

so here is the plan I am meeting the guy half way (47 miles) on Thursday and he is giving me the 01 se warrior and $200 cash for my snowblower . I paid $944 for the blower in November 2011 so I'd be getting the warrior for a little less than $750
you guys think that's a good deal? it has a new battery and starter just has a wire shorting out under the seat had the same prob on my 94 easy fix they said it an great before the short in wiring about the only thing it will need is a rear skid hopefully.

Doesn't sound half bad. If it runs well and doesn't have and steering/suspension/chassis or trans issues... go for it.
