Bilt Hard 28” rDual Stage 252cc Gas Snowblower Unboxing Assembly and Review

Hey guys, how you doing? It's Henry at Mowers & More. Welcome to another weekend product review. In these two boxes is a brand new 28-inch gas dual-stage snowblower. It's from my friends over at Good Card. As you know, they sent me a 22-ton gas log splitter last time. we're nearing winter from fall we're going to be expecting some snow relatively soon and what better time to show you this brand new snow blower. Let's unbox it and put it together and show you how it works. As you guys saw, I had to stop and move into the garage because it's raining outside. We're having sort of a nor'easter in November. If it was colder, this would all be snow. We could try this out. Anyway, it took a while to put it all together. As you also saw, I did not read the instructions at all. I've been doing this a long time. Things just make sense to me like second nature. So I just put it all together. It was very fun. There were a couple of bolts that hold the directional chute that were stripped and didn't fit well. So I had to find two other bolts that come with an extra key, a screwdriver and spark plug remover, as well as a couple of shear pins for the auger. So this is a 252cc engine horizontal shaft. The clearing path width is 28 inches. As you can see the wheels are 14 inch tires and they're airless. These are solid just like the professional lawnmower tires. You saw me install the snowshoes and already installed was the scraper bar on the bottom. The auger has four somewhat serrated auger blades and a triple impeller with a scoop. As you can see the bucket is very high So it takes all the volume of the snow in this area. It is self-propelled of course and it has six speed forward two speeds reverse fast and slow. As you can also see the front chute directional can go left and right with the crank and the up and down directional with this lever here. This handle here starts the impeller and auger and shoots the snow out. This handle here is for engaging the self-propulsion going forward or reverse depending on which gear you have it in. Right now it's in one. This engine does come with a stator so it generates electricity from when the engine's running and powers these two LED lights. On the front panel here you'll see that it has a button for the lights to turn on as well as heated grips or you can turn off the light and just have heated grips. or off in the middle this is what it looks like from the user's view up and down directional throw snow engage propulsion forward or reverse here the gears one two three four five six and two reverse you can pull start with this handle or you can plug in your garden extension cord and have electric start you will never get a flat when it comes to these tires and look at the size of the knobby treads They'll grip the snow very well. You can remove the wheel very easily with this linchpin which you'll have to do if you wanted to do an oil change because the oil change reservoir is here. This is the pulley cover. It protects the pulleys inside and the belts from getting wet. Here's your dipstick to check for oil and your gas cap to fill your fuel. On the dash here you have the key which you can take out or leave in. This is your throttle control slow or fast engine speed. To start it up in the beginning you have the prime and here you have the choke all the way to the left and full run to the right. Here's the fuel shut off. Right now it's off. You want the fuel to flow into the carburetor you put it on. On the left side you have the overhead valve valve cover that covers your valves in case you ever have to do a valve adjustment. Here's where you access the spark plug and here's the muffler exhaust. Never touch this area and this part here will get very hot. It comes with a snow removal tool in case your chute gets clogged with snow. Never put your hand in the chute. Always use what I like to call the shovel and it has a shovel holder right here. Now we're going to add some engine oil. Which is included, they give you 16.9 ounces of 5W-30. 5W-30 is the kind of oil that you use for snow machines. Cold weather, temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Now in the manual, it doesn't tell you exactly how much oil you put in there. But being this is a horizontal shaft and you usually put 12 ounces in a lawnmower 16.9 sounds about right. But we'll pour in like three quarters and then check the levels to make sure you don't overfill. If you pour it sideways it won't bubble up. That's about three quarters. We'll wait for a while until the oil settles down then we'll take a measure in just to make sure that we don't overfill it. Always wipe your dipstick clean. It looks like you just pour the whole thing in. Now we'll add some gas. Just regular 87 is fine, but if you have non-ethanol gas even better. But here in Long Island, they don't offer it. Yeah, I know it's raining, but did you think I was going to make this video and not show you it running? I'm going to start it up in the garage. So we've got the thing to choke, we have the fuel turned on, we have the throttle at rabbit, the key is in, I'm going to prime the carburetor, I hear fluid in the carburetor, and I'm going to just pull start it. We have oil. We have gas. Let's go. That sounded great, didn't it? Runs great. Sounds great. I'm sure it'll perform pretty well too. Stay tuned for when I do get some snow here in Long Island and we'll take this out for a rip. Remember to like, share, and subscribe so you don't miss that episode. Let's try the electric start. garden extension cord. Stick it in. Once again, this is This is the built part. 28-inch, 252cc, dual-stage snowblower with 14-inch wheels that are airless. Solid knobby tires with a large diameter, so it really grips well in the snow. I can't wait to use this when it snows. Hope you guys enjoyed this weekend product review.
