The Husqvarna 8527SBE snow blower was a prominent model in Husqvarna's lineup during the early to mid 2000s. It's powered by a Briggs & Stratton engine, typically around 8.5 horsepower (250cc-270cc), with an electric start option for easy starting in cold temperatures. As a two-stage snow blower, it utilizes an auger system to break up snow and then an impeller to throw it away from the clearing path.

Its throwing distance can reach up to 40 feet, depending on snow conditions. The unit features a wheel drive system with multiple forward and reverse speeds, providing good traction and maneuverability. The chute rotation is controlled manually via a crank lever on the dash. A headlight is included for improved visibility during early morning or evening snow removal. While heated grips were not a standard feature on this model, its robust engine and capable two-stage design made it ideal for clearing snow in residential areas with moderate to heavy snowfall. This machine excels at clearing paved surfaces and handles gravel driveways with care when the skid shoes are properly adjusted.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for wear, damage, or bending. Replace worn parts promptly to maintain optimal performance.
- Shear Pins: Always keep spare shear pins on hand. These pins are designed to break if the auger encounters a hard object, preventing damage to the gearbox. Replace broken shear pins immediately.
- Fuel Stabilizer: Add fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank before storing the snow blower for the off-season. This prevents fuel degradation and carburetor issues.
- Skid Shoe Adjustment: Adjust the skid shoes according to the surface you're clearing. Raise them for gravel driveways to prevent picking up stones and lower them for paved surfaces for a cleaner scrape.
