    Question:
    New Husqvarna Snow Blower (ST 121E) is hard to push! How to fix this?
    Details:

    My father-in-law bought a new Husqvarna ST 121E. He is a 6'4 dude (and a contractor!) but finds it really hard to pull the snow blower.

    He took it to the local dealer in Chicago and they found nothing wrong. Because there was no snow is December (when he bought it), the return policy expired. The dealer offered 50% of the price he paid, which is ridiculous.

    Can anyone help in explaining how to fix this (is there something stuck in the whells or something), or how can he return the machine. Thank you. Tony

    Tony,

    Thanks for contacting the Answer Army to post your questions.

    Single stage snow throwers can at times seem hard to push simply on account of the means by which they are propelled. These machines use the auger itself as a propulsion device and lack a dedicated drive mechanism as is found in a two stage snow blower. When trying to move the unit in hard packed or deep snow this drive design can often prove to lack efficiency to some extent.
