The Troy-Bilt Storm 2410 Snow Blower is an excellent and inexpensive 2-stage snow thrower. In this video I cover the correct way to set it up for the first use, and evaluate it's performance through a heavy, wet snow fall. If you are looking for a snowblower to save your back from the next heavy snow, this may be a good option.

You totally saved the day. We got buried in Alaska and the chute assembly came off and thanks to your awesome video I was able to attach it back on easily and do the neighbors house as well who was gone.

Troybilt 👍. Love mine. I bought the monster 3-stage Vortex many years ago. Still fires up on the first pull. And if you can get lights, a motorized chute, and heated handles.

Mine is 10-11 years old. Never one issue and always starts first time with the electronic start.

Thanks for a great tutorial. Although my 2023 model is different it looks very similar and I'm sure the assembly will be easy after watching your video. Kept dozing off as I tried reading the manuals so your film is much appreciated.

Good tutorial. I've had my troy bilt since 2013. Couldn't remember how to remove the chute. Finally taking it in for major service. Handles down, chute removed & it will fit in a SUV. Pickup charge is $100

I've had a 2410 since 2014. I installed an impeller kit soon after I bought it and as if injecting steroids into the machine.i use mine commercially and never an issue yet! Other than regular maintenance and the use of fuel stabilizer this snowblower is as reliable as a hammer! Don't forget to do your break in oil change. Very important. If needing a light a simple head mounted light works well! 👍

I've had a 2410 since 2017, been a reliable blower with no major problems, I just recently switched to non ethanol fuel and will also be adding a fuel cut off. Also will probably do the impeller mod this summer, handles the heave snow well but the slush that the plows stack up at the end of the driveway is too much for it in stock form.

Perfect video. Saved. I just bought one and really needed a little help. Do you have a video for maintenance and storage during the off season?

@AmplifyDIY 2 жыл бұрын

I don’t have a video on that yet, but that’s a great idea for me to do this coming spring. In a nutshell: add stabil to the fuel, run it until it runs out of fuel, and then put it away for the summer. In the fall when you pull it back out, change the oil, and add fresh gas. Check for anything that needs to be lubricated. That’s about all these things need. Hope it works well for your this winter!

Good snow blower, starts up every year and does the business. My only complaint is the chute adjustment arm doesn’t “grab” the shoot very well to turn it so I am often turning the chute by hand. This is even more so the case when the snow starts to collect near the chute gears. I feel like the chute adjustment arm - while simple - may not be properly designed.

@AmplifyDIY 3 жыл бұрын

I'm in the Pacific Northwest. Compared to my old John Deere this thing is much nicer to use. It's not as wide, but it also weighs a lot less and has enough power for the amount of snow we get here. Good luck with your decision - I hope you are as happy with whatever you buy as I've been with this one. Thanks for watching!

Yes, I'm in the Boise metro area. This area seems to be a Jekyll and Hyde with winters. There have been years I've not even bothered to get the old snow blower out of my shed, and other years I've been REALLY glad I had one. They are spendy little machines though, so can be a hard decision to spend that much on something you rarely use.

@vernobobby Жыл бұрын

can this blower be moved manually without starting it, say if you need to move it to a new location your garage or shed?

@AmplifyDIY Жыл бұрын

Hi Rob - sure, you can easily move it around with the engine off. The only note is that the rear axle does not have a differential, so both rear wheels are locked together. If one spins, so does the other. This can make it a little tricky to make tight turns on a garage or shed floor, but it's not too bad. Thanks for watching!

@AmplifyDIY 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Joe - the rabbit and turtle just controls the throttle of the engine. You can adjust the aim with the discharge chute direction and the adjustable end at the end of the chute can be aimed down to keep the snow from being thrown high/far. Good luck this winter!

@joeknowz4898 2 жыл бұрын

@@AmplifyDIY I understand that, but if the engine speed slows does the distance it shoots the snow shorten ??? Not like my single stage Toro I had to tilt the chute down and just aim closer to the edge of the side walks. I do three other homes on my block and my 100 foot driveway ( most of my driveway is between my house and my neighbors ) so I have to shoot it forward and then either onto my front yard or back yard...depending on which way the winds is working against me...LOL Thanks for the info....We has 24 inches in 6 days last part on January and the first week of February ...I about killed my back trying to go though the drifts of about 3 foot from the wind...NO MORE PUSHING !!!!

What type of gas is recommended

@AmplifyDIY 3 жыл бұрын

Regular unleaded, preferably without ethanol. If you can only find fuel with ethanol in it, then add a fuel stabilizer such as Sta-Bil to your fuel. At the end of winter you should completely empty the fuel tank and carburetor to avoid varnish build up and poor engine performance next year. Thanks for watching!
