Top Notch Snow Blower
We are pleased with our purchase. It is so much easier to handle than our old one & it even has hand warmers!!! We like the size and the width of the area it clears the snow. The price was very reasonable.
Light snow and heavy snow looks really good
One of the better snowblowers I own
It’s definitely a powerhouse!
Pros: Absolute beast of an engine. Throws snow a mile. Serrated auger definitely chews up the snow. Cons: Although not the equivalent to assembling ikea furniture, the instructions lacked a bit when it came to cable placement and ideal settings. I’ve had issues with drive engagement. You also need to play close attention to cleat positioning to avoid grab and chatter. Unfortunately the heated grips always died after 3 uses as well. I’m not disappointed with it overall. It’s quality built and solid.
Happy Camper, so far
Lift Gate service was outstanding and shipping container arrived undamaged. Assembly was pretty straight forward, just need to take your time if you've never had a snowblower before. I've had the monster for only a month, and already have put it to good use on my 165 ft inclined driveway... made a manual snow shovel afternoon job a simple quick four pass effort...
Pro XL30B Snow Blower Review
I own four other DR machines, so needless to say I trust DR Products. I only rated the XL30B 4 Stars due to the lack of detailed assembly instructions, which I will explain below. 5 STARS - Lift Gate Service, Shipment Packing, Fit/Finish of machine, Superior paint finish, Very high quality components throughout, Robust steel overall, High quality factory assembly........Super high quality product! 5 STARS - Operation is fantastic......gets the job done! Designed very well, as all machine & engine controls are very accessible when wearing bulky gloves. (Perhaps the chute rotation rod could be a bit longer). 5 STARS - Engine Operators Manual (W420FS) well written and informative. 2 STARS - I am not a novice mechanic, but, for a novice, the Set Up Instructions need work. The installation of the Auger Cable and Drive Cable need more information and illustration detail. The same goes for both Steering Cables. There are detailed illustrations in the instructions for basic tasks as installing a bolt & nut! My suggestion would be to add more detail for the installation of the cable groups. DR has a great YOUTUBE video for the Tow Behind Leaf Vac assembly, perhaps make one similar for your Snow Blower Line?? One maintenance issue.....there is a zerk fitting on the auger transmission/gear housing. No mention in the manual for grease spec of interval to grease??? Perhaps I overlooked??? Overall, as a long time DR customer, I say you guys hit another home run with the XL30B!! Super high quality product.....no regrets! Thanks!!!

Q.Can the engine speed be adjusted or is it automatically set?
A.Thank you for your question. The engine on this machine is set and can not be adjusted.

Q.Is this engine Made In USA or Imported? It does not say Briggs & Stratton, Kohler etc.
A.The DR OHV is manufactured for us overseas to our specifications. It is specifically designed for cold weather use. The air intake is designed to keep moisture out, the cover is designed to keep the block warm. Internal parts are designed to run under colder temps (startup). Please feel free to contact us if you have any other questions.
