This certainly could be the issue. Normally hard starting is either caused by the choke not engaging properly, or the carb needing serviced or replaced. Those are the two most likely issues of a hard starting engine. As always, if you have any questions or need to speak with a Turf Teq technical service specialist, give us a call!

@@TurfTeq It sure was, runs good now. I might be making a video of some upgrades im gonna make to the 36 inch power rake. I want to install electric up and down and angle.

@@honestjason7854 Glad to hear that resolved the issue for you! If you ever need anything else, just give us a call. If the engine is the stock engine that came with the machine there is going to be an issue with adding electrical components to the machine. The engine you most likely have is the GXV390 sub-model DA23. That specific engine does not have a charging system, so it cannot charge a battery, run electrical actuators, or be equipped with an electric start. There is a way to convert the engine to have electrical output on it but it involves changing the flywheel and adding the charging system components. By the time you add those components, it would likely be cheaper to just swap the engine with one that already has electric output equipped as standard equipment.

You can get a cheap edger, or you can get a good edger, but you can't have both.

@@TurfTeq thanks I ended up ordering a Lawn Edger with Dual Wheel and Ash Handle, 48-Inch off ebay

@@trevethan82319841 Hopefully that will work for the edging jobs you have. Best of luck!

You may call us here at Turf Teq and we can get an opener blade shipped directly to you. We always have them in stock!

The Power Broom can be used for debris clearing as well as snow removal. The stiff bristles are what help get the power to the ground to remove surface debris like stones, thatch, pine cones, etc.

Thanks for the comment. Naturally, it depends on your specific needs and what type of snow event you typically see in your area. If you'd like to discuss your specific use case in more detail to see if our plow would be a good fit, just give us a call here at Turf Teq. One of our in-house product specialists would be happy to speak with you about our Power Plow!

Thanks for the comment. The maximum effective depth for heavy wet snow is 6-8 inches depending on the traction conditions. When it comes to a colder, drier snow, the maximum depth the machine can handle is 12". The key to our machine being effective is the weight of the machine being directly over the drive tires, the locking differential, aggressive drive tire tread, and the fact that we fill our tires with a liquid ballast that helps with traction. Another factor that helps with the traction is the geometry of how the blade is attached to the machine. The more snow its pushing, the more force gets transferred to the drive tires, giving it even more pushing power.

Thanks for buying a used Turf Teq. If you ever need technical assistance please don't hesitate to give us a call. These Honda engines are rock solid. If you are having issues starting there is a VERY high likelihood the choke isn't engaging properly, the carburetor needs cleaned/replaced, or the gas in the tank has gone bad. Not much we can do to assist with finding an electric start, but if you need any help please reach out to us. We are always happy to assist!

Hey Fred, While we agree that changing attachments does take some time, normally about 10 minutes, it shouldn't involve any pinched fingers/hands. Go to our KZfaq main page and check out our 'how to change attachments' series of videos where we walk you through the best practices for changing the attachments. If you do need any manuals give us a call and we'd be happy to send out replacement copies for you!

Hey John, In Ontario you can give us a call and we can sell a machine to you directly. We look forward to hearing from you!

@@TurfTeq Thanks for the reply. Once I clear a few things off my plate, I will be in-touch.

Depends where you live, but give us a call or go to our website www.turftq.com and submit a contact for and we can help you with making a purchase!

@@TurfTeq THANKS... I ordered one last week, waiting for arrival before a giant Chicago snow hits.. even though I have a 3 stage Cub Cadet, a 1000E toro and an 80v EGO... Sweeping it clean will be awesome !

@joelfabrice4489 Please give us a call or submit a contact form on our website and we'd be happy to assist you in getting a quote or placing an order for a machine.

Hey Ron, We do not have a funnel Plow at this point in time. The 46" wide plow is the only option we have available currently. The drive tires on the machine are liquid weighted with ~40Lbs of ballast in each giving the plow unbelievable traction for the size that it is. It can plow up to 12" of colder dry snow. If you have any questions about the machine please don't hesitate to give us a call. We have a knowledgeable staff on hand here at Turf Teq that can answer any/all questions you may have about the Plow or any of our other machines. We hope we get the opportunity to speak with you soon!

@@TurfTeq Thanks for the response.

Hey Anthony, The key to not getting run over is to lock the differential on the transmission which locks the drive tires together. From there, the hydrostatic transmission takes care of the rest as whenever you let off the forward/reverse control the transmission comes to a stop. Even on a very steep slope it will immediately slow down to a crawl when you let off of the forward/reverse control. Of course, having soft aggressive tires also helps with traction on metal ramps in the snow. If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to give us a call!

Depends on the snow conditions. If its heavy wet snow it won't really effect the operator but if the snow is light powder it can blow back. Aftermarket snow blower enclosures are available and can be adapted to fit the broom machine to prevent the operator from getting any snow blown back on them. Also, if its possible you should always try to have the wind at you back or blowing sideways. We understand this is not always possible.

If you need one, we've got one for you :)

Our machine isn't small, you are right about that. The machine has to be a pretty substantial size to be able to dig the way it does.

What can we say, we aren't really professional landscapers, we make equipment for the professionals though.

Hey Phil, that's fair and we tend to agree but that's what the customer requested so who are we to talk them out of it.

The price of the Broom machine currently is around $7,000

Hey Brandon, Its the old saying that you can have a cheap piece of equipment or a good piece of equipment but you can't have both. Building a piece of equipment that works well and is durable is an expensive task. If you are looking for a cheap edger you could try out a powered stick edger.

Have not seen that one before. Poked around a little bit and we don't think they are in business anymore. The website is for sale and we can't track any company down online offering anything like that.
