Bought a Try-Bilt Snow Thrower from Lowe's. Most they had were on
display with a "convenient" $25 assembly charge. I was using a 10% off
coupon so I wanted to keep it cheaper so I took of of the only two
they had boxed. Took it home and the "assembly " consisted of
tightening handle knobs, attaching chute (three clamps), and attaching
the chute aimer (removing cotter pin and then reattaching it). Took
10-15 minutes . I know I received all the parts (Some on display had
the replacement shear pins taken, the key was missingon some). Unit
came oiled I added gas and it started on second pull. I think it will
be fine . It's the 5.5 hp w/electric start 24" with the bigger intake.
Not bad for $550+tax. Icant wait for snow!!

Sure, why not? My MIL can handle a snowblower, but would have problems with
some assembly.
And $25 is really not a big deal even for the small amount of work needed.
Store have a lot of overhead so the price of opening the container,
assembling, disposing of carton, etc, the cost is not out of line, IMO.

Yea, they do!
Guy looking at arc from thrower chute across yard. Wonders what the stream
section of red snow is. Maybe because it's new paint in the chute. Hour
later. Can't find Rover.
