Detailed Test Results

The Troy-Bilt 2620 31BM63P3711 scored excellent for removal speed and was excellent at removing the plow pile at the end of the driveway, which can be a challenge for some machines. Throwing distance was very good; this matters most if you have a wide driveway. Surface cleaning--how much snow was left on the surface--was very good. Handling, which is how easy the machine is to maneuver (including turns), was only good. Ease of using the various controls--such as speed, chute, and auger--was very good. Requires the use of hearing protection.
