Wheels – 7″ hard plastic wheels sit on each side of a single rear axle on the CCR 3650. If you’re not clear on the difference between two-stoke and four-stroke engines, ProTool Reviews has a good write-up comparing 2-cycle and 4-cycle engines. The electric start has worked flawlessly since we’ve owned this unit. Follow gas mixture, priming and choking instructions and this blower starts up every time. The Toro starts like any typical two-stroke engine. We’re partial to machines where the wheels or treads turn independent of an auger drive.Įlectric Start – We consider this a must have on any snowblower we’d own. While this is true, it isn’t nearly as effective as a truly self-propelled machine. Self-Propulsion – Toro claims this unit and its successor are self propelled because the snow throwing paddle makes repeated contact with the ground, pulling the unit forward. We’ve had some fear that the blower would show degraded performance over time but either it hasn’t happened, or the degradation has been so slow we haven’t noticed. Any more than 14 inches and the blower quickly becomes overwhelmed and the paddle will begin to slip around the drive axle (causing a terrible squeaking noise). Toro CCR 3650 Feature Reviewġ4.5″ Snow Height Capacity, 21″ Width – The Toro features a 14.5″ x 19″ mouth and effectively drives through up to about 14 inches of snow. The Verdict: A good machine, but for the same money we’d get a self-propelled Craftsman Snowblower or comparable model instead. Price is too high for a medium duty machine. The Lows: self-propulsion is merely adequate won’t move slush no matter how little can make a terrible squeaking noise when the load exceeds the blower’s capacity (either through height or density of the snow). The Highs: reliable performance for more than 5 years electric and pull start good gas mileage works great on powdery and even wet snows up to 14 inches tall. Read on for our thoughts on Toro’s snow blowing machine… Toro CCR 3650 Snowblower Highlights Our unit features a 18″ width while the newer model sports a 21″ width. While our version has most every feature of the newer model, one notable difference is the plowing width. Toro stopped selling this model blower a few years ago and replaced it with the Power Clear 221. We inherited this blower with the house (the previous owners were Georgia-bound) and we’re happy to say that overall, it’s performed well through most everything mother nature has thrown at it. For the last 4 years and through last weekend, we’ve been clearing snow off our driveway and walkways with the Toro CCR 3650 Single Stage Snowblower.
