I'm not familiar with the new model numbers, but I have a model 7-23 that I bought new in 1991 and it still works great. But then again, I'm a preventative maintenance nut. If you are a DIY repair person, don't expect any support from Husqvarna, as far as repair manuals or parts diagrams, as they are a 'go to your dealer' company.
I'm not so happy with this purchase. There seems to be something wrong with it, as it's not going into reverse. It also gets stuck a lot, with the wheels digging into the snow . I find it more difficult to manage than my old Toro, with clumsier controls, and it just seems a little wild and unbalanced. Yes, it's a powerful engine, but I'm not sure that it's actually any easier to clear snow than it was with my smaller machine.
Considering returning it, especially because of the issue with reverse.
Thanks for your input. I hear they are not easy to operate either. I just like them because of the high auger hood. Its nice to be able to suck in 23" of snow at once, esp. after last winter.
