Manufactured in the early to mid 2000s, this model boasts a 30-inch clearing width, making it ideal for clearing large driveways and walkways.

The Husqvarna 1130STE snow blower was a popular model in Husqvarna's lineup, produced primarily in the early to mid-2000s. It is powered by a Tecumseh Snow King engine, typically around 11 horsepower and 305cc, with an electric start option for easier cold-weather starts. This model utilizes a two-stage system, where the auger breaks up the snow and then the impeller throws it away from the machine. The 1130STE features a 30-inch clearing width and an intake height of approximately 23 inches, allowing it to handle substantial snowfall. It's capable of throwing snow up to 45 feet, depending on snow conditions. The drive system is wheel-driven with multiple forward and reverse speeds, providing good maneuverability. Chute rotation is manually controlled. The unit also includes a headlight for improved visibility during early morning or evening snow removal. While it lacks heated grips, its powerful performance makes it well-suited for handling moderate to heavy snowfall on paved and unpaved surfaces. Ideal snow conditions involve moderate to heavy snowfalls, and it's especially useful in areas with frequent snow accumulations that need quick removal.

Maintenance Tips
- Regularly inspect the auger and impeller for damage or wear. Replace shear pins immediately if they break to prevent damage to the auger gearbox.
- Check the belt tension regularly. Loose belts can reduce throwing distance and overall performance. Replace worn or cracked belts promptly.
- Change the engine oil annually or after every 50 hours of use. Use a high-quality synthetic oil designed for cold weather to ensure proper lubrication. Add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank before storing the snow blower for the off-season to prevent fuel degradation.
- Adjust the skid shoes to ensure proper clearance and prevent damage to the scraper bar and the surface being cleared. Adjust them higher for gravel surfaces and lower for paved surfaces.
