Typically manufactured in the late 1990s and early 2000s, this model features a 26-inch clearing width, making it suitable for medium to large driveways and walkways. Its robust design and efficient snow throwing capability contributed to its widespread adoption.
The Murray 620301X79D snow blower was produced primarily in the late 1990s and early 2000s, designed for residential snow removal. It typically features a Briggs & Stratton engine, likely in the 8-10 HP range (specific HP varies by year). An electric start option was often available for easier starting in cold weather.
