Manufacturer Review
Great Snow Blower for the Snowy Season!
By Morgan Jones 
Husqvarna E-Commerce Manager
Review Posted 10/20/2022
The Husqvarna ST430T 30 420cc Track Drive Snow Blower is designed for anyone who needs a maximum-performance snow blower. The improved fuel capacity and centralized controls helps get the job done for longer run times and easy adjustments. The easy adjustable auger height is a must for professionals who work on uneven or gravel surfaces, making it easy going job to job. This model is also equipped with track drive traction, a feature for those who work on inclines or ice. You also don't need to worry about your hands being cold as the heated grips allow fingers to stay warm for more comfortable operation. The Husqvarna ST430T 30 420cc Track Drive Snow Blower is a must for the upcoming snow season!

Very impressed
By Husqvarna Customer 
Review Posted 03/05/2023 
it is rare I ever write a review but I almost did not buy this machine because of bad reviews. We have had record snow in Northern Utah this winter and without this machine I would be a certain creek without paddles! In two months I have put 17 hours on this machine without one problem. And man, this thing can eat! I have went rough snow that is going over the too of the machine and if I set the speed not do over bog the motor is keeps going. If anything changes I will update my review but after 17 hours and multiple feet of snow I am very happy.

Constant repairs
By Husqvarna Customer 
Review Posted 02/28/2023 
The snowblower works great with lots of power, but I am repeatedly having the same problem as everyone else with the drive bolts breaking and the drive brackets disconnecting stopping it from being able to drive. This happened on smooth flat terrain. The first two times it happened under warranty, but now its on me and they are a major pain to fix. Definitely go with something else.

A little disappointing
By Husqvarna Customer 
Review Posted 02/28/2023 
For the price I thought I was buying a quality piece of equipment that I could count on for years. After running it a couple of hours I ran into an issue with the auger belt, it was installed improperly, a bolt was missing from the auger pulley and there were washers sitting in the bottom of the machine. The belt ended up coming off and damaging the fan on the transmission. My local dealer was kind enough to warranty the belt and is looking into getting replacement parts for it. I also hit a chunk of ice and it was enough to break the lower chute as its just pot metal. Overall quality for the price is sub par. It has what would be some nice features but the heated grips are not much help, it would have been better to have heated levers as your hands are on those more often than the handles. I do appreciate the fuel injection and battery start.

Terrible experience
By Husqvarna Customer 
Review Posted 11/05/2022 
I have owned 3 husky tracked snowblowers with the triangle tracks and had no issues, upgraded (actually downgraded) to the 430st for the ease of electric start, 7hrs on the clock and the track carrier disconnected from the snowblower, dealership fixed under warranty, picked it up and was backing it off of the truck and onto the ground and heard a snap, carrier disconnected again. Will be paying to have it fixed this time, hopefully it stays together long enough for me to sell it.

Absolutely terrible quality and 1 year warranty??? goes to show they knew it was poor quality as well

Quality machine
By Husqvarna Customer 
Review Posted 12/14/2021 
I did A LOT of research before buying my first snow blower. With quality and capasity as as the most importent features, the choise stood between Ariens Pro series and thees machines. I think both of them are equal opponents. I have alot of Husqvarna machines in other categories and i really like their products.

It seems like a quality machine! Takes a bit to get use to operate, but I guess that comes with the use..


The reviews for this machine on Husqvarnas web sites and in a lot of videos/comments are about stuff Husqvarna really has improved on the 2021 version! Especially the problems regarding the bolts and drive shafts loosening.. So that should not be a problem any more

By Husqvarna Customer 
Review Posted 09/18/2021 
Terrible warranty coverage. Track drive bolts broke, parts replaced with a new set of hardware only dealer they sent me to no longer does warranty work due to poor payment issues so I had to cover the labor & parts myself

Great Snowblower
By Husqvarna Customer 
Review Posted 07/06/2021 
Best Snowblower I ever owned. I will never own a wheeled snowblower again. Snowblower goes thru any snow and does not beat you up.
