I've always wanted to be in at the beginning of a new forum...
A quick intro, Im a 48 year old motor-head from RI, I have made my living maintaining cars and now (last year) I am the very happy owner of a Honda 1132 TAS.
The 1132 is my first snow removal device that is bigger than a shovel and I love it! I bought it early last season when we where snowed in and it was the last machine left in any dealer showroom within a couple hundred miles. Obviously I was not in a position to haggle price! But hey, it was the size I wanted, the brand was high on my list and it was there. Next thing I knew it was home making short work of all that snow on my gravel driveway.
Between my shop and my home it gets a good workout. Easy starting, unbelievable ability to throw snow, no problems at all! I do keep looking at the handles and thinking that I'd like to modify the height to better suit my 6'3" body but I haven't done anything yet. I'll take lots of pictures if I decide to take on that project. Other than that I'm as happy with this machine as I can be and I'm actually looking forward to snow again for the first time in years! Video to come this winter.
