The 210 is only a 133cc engine though, the 2100 is 208 almost twice the power and can handle much more. Same for the Toro 721 which is 215cc. If you go with a SS you definitely want bigger motor.

Absolutely. My SS Toro is a 2 stroke that revs to almost 4k RPMs when under stress, so I get enough power out of 141ccs. Now everything is 4 stroke so bigger is definitely better when blowing snow for sure.

Amazing how much more torque and power you can get from a smaller engine with a 2 stroke.

Hey, when you want to throw the snow from your sidewalk onto your annoying neighbors sidewalk across the street there's no substitute for horsepower!

WOW! 277cc's! Nice! With light powdery snow my SS throws it about 25-30'. With that engine I could throw it like a $3K Honda!
