![]() 30 x 23 inch (W x H) intake is ideal for clearing moderate to heavy snowfall. |
![]() OHV engine with electric start is designed for use in cold weather. View larger diagram. |
The deep-tread 16-inch tires are powered for easy maneuvering over snowy terrain. The PR1030ES also features power steering for easy turns. The drive speed lever controls the snow thrower's speed and direction (forward/reverse). The traction drive lever allows the user to quickly engage or disengage the drive system.
Two-Stage Snow Removal Clears Deep Snow
With a wide 30-inch x 23-inch (W x H) intake and two-stage snow thrower functionality, the PR1030ES is able to throw snow more efficiently than a single-stage model. Two-stage snow thrower technology employs an auger with an additional impeller for greater efficiency--removing snow faster and throwing it farther. The adjustable skid plate allows for alterations to the height of the scraper bar for use on a variety of surfaces, including concrete, dirt, and ice.
The discharge chute and deflector are controlled remotely, allowing the snow to be directed away from the user and at various distances. An included tool facilitates quick cleaning of the discharge chute.
Conveniently Located Control Panel for Easy Operation
The PR1030ES features a convenient control panel for managing the various functions of the machine. Located between the comfortable loop handle grips, this panel allows the user to control the drive system's speed and direction, the deflector's angle and direction, steering, auger operation, and engage and disengage the drive system--all within arm's reach.
An integrated flood light illuminates the work path for easier removal of snow in low-light conditions.
The PR1030ES weighs 265 pounds and uses a 12-inch diameter auger and 12-inch diameter impeller configuration. It is backed by a two-year limited warranty.

The BEAST,

This review is from: Poulan Pro PR1030ES 30-Inch 291cc Gas Powered 2-Stage Snow Thrower With Electric Start, Power Steering, And Remote Chute Deflector Control 961920031 (Lawn & Patio)
Bought this last year (Mar 07). Looks like the model has a new handlebar, other than that it is identical to mine. If you want/need power, think Tim 'the Toolman', this is the machine for you. Minor nits:
1) handlebars don't seem strong enough, they flex easily. 2) paint easily taken off when adjusting nuts and bolts 3) finding the slowest forward speed setting is difficult, this machine wants to move down the driveway very quickly. This evening it was easily throwing 5" of snow over 50ft. I could have buried the neighbor plowing his driveway at the same time. Be ready with a wrench because the machine vibrates as much as a Harley. Lastly, wear ear plugs, pulling it into and out of the garage was very painful. Shipping was fast, it comes delivered on a palet. Takes about an hour to assemble, mainly setting up the handlebars. Overall a very nice machine, if you have doubts whether you need this much hp, go for the 8.5hp.

Solid unit for the price,

This review is from: Poulan Pro PR1030ES 30-Inch 291cc Gas Powered 2-Stage Snow Thrower With Electric Start, Power Steering, And Remote Chute Deflector Control 961920031 (Lawn & Patio)
This is a very solid unit and is identical to the Sears item # 07188106000 and the Poulan branded unit at Sams Club with the exception that the Sears and Sam's unit has the newer B&S engine labeled as 14.5 gross ft-lb torque rather than 10.5hp.
The 'power steering' is a must on a unit of this size and it work well. Starts with one pull; there is no need for the electric start. I found that all of the controls and pivot points benefited greatly from a dose of liquid lube and now work smooth and light. My only issue so far is the speed control; there are not specific speeds forward and reverse leaving you to guess how fast it will go and it what direction. If you are not handy note that the Sears unit can be had with a 5 year maintenance and repair plan for about $200.

Working well after a rough start,

This review is from: Poulan Pro PR1030ES 30-Inch 291cc Gas Powered 2-Stage Snow Thrower With Electric Start, Power Steering, And Remote Chute Deflector Control 961920031 (Lawn & Patio)
Overall satisfied with this snowblower as what it was represented to be at a very good price. Powerful, pretty easy to use, requires a bit of muscle, gets the job done. The "rough start" refers to the fact that it arrived missing an augur pin so only one half of the augur worked on the first use, which was 18 inches of snow, making for pretty tough sledding. Figuring out the problem with the distributor was more difficult than it should have been, but once diagnosed it was easily solved with a minor mechanical installation any homeowner could complete on his or her own. QA/QC took a day off at the factory, I guess. But working great now, and I do recommend this product as a heavy capacity snowblower -- properly assembled.
