Honda Power Equipment today introduced its new HS720 series of premium residential snow blowers at the 2013 GIE+EXPO trade show. The Honda engineering team integrated several key feature updates into the HS720A and HS720AS models. They provide snow throwing performance and operation in a compact package for both homeowners and commercial users.

Powered by a lightweight OHC Honda GC190 engine, the HS720 series delivers excellent fuel economy with optimal power output. The GC190 premium residential engine maintains its reputation as a quiet, easy starting, and durable engine. The new HS720AS model adds an easy to use electric start with a 120 volt AC electric starter.

Despite its relatively small size, the HS720 can clear up to 55 tons of snow per hour, discharging that snow up to 33 feet away. Large volumes of snow are no problem, as the HS720 clears a 20-inch width easily at heights of 12 feet.

In addition, the standard semi self-propelled Auger Assist feature makes quick work of snow removal by aiding in propulsion when needed. In addition, the Honda dual operator area control easily adjusts the distance and direction snow can be discharged, for the ultimate in control.

The 220-degree quick chute feature also allows the user to quickly change the direction of thrown snow with the slide of a lever for better snow-throwing. For more information go to www.honda.com.
