HONDA SNOWTHROWERS
BUY A HONDA
SNOWTHROWER AND
WE’LL BUY YOUR
SHOVEL FOR BIG $$$.
If you bring in your old snow shovel, well give you big
dollars off when you buy any Honda snowthrower.
There are five Honda models to
choose from. Ranging from 35 to 8 horsepower.
Every Honda snowthrower has a reliable
four-stroke engine so there's no oil and gas to
mix. They can haul off up to 38
tons of snow an hour depending
on the model. Some models power through
the snow using dual-track drive while
others have wheels for easy maneuver
ing. Honda's largest model even has
electric start.
So this year, buy yourself a Honda
snowthrower. And don't
forget to bring in your old
shovel. For a real good
scoop.
