Husqvarna ST427T (27″) 369cc Two-Stage Hydrostatic Track Driven Snow Blower w/ EFI Engine

The ST427T puts the ST427's 369cc engine and hydrostatic transmission on a tracked undercarriage instead of wheels, keeping the 27-inch intake but aiming the whole package at wide driveways buried in deep or uneven snow where a wheeled machine would start to lose grip.

Why a wider machine benefits most from tracks

A heavier, wider two-stage unit puts more weight on the ground at any one point than a narrower machine does, and tracks spread that weight out to keep traction rather than letting it spin in place. Electronic fuel injection on the 369cc engine means reliable cold starts with no carburetor to adjust by hand, and the hydrostatic drive still allows ground speed to adjust smoothly rather than in fixed steps.

Comfort and upkeep

A cast iron impeller handles the wear of repeated heavy snowfall, heated handgrips and LED headlights both ship standard, and a .95-gallon tank stretches run time between fill-ups. Chute aim and the deflector angle both adjust from the same handle.

What is the advantage of tracks on this model? Better traction across deep snow or uneven ground than wheels provide, particularly on a wider, heavier unit like this one.

What does the EFI engine add on this unit? More reliable cold starts without manual carburetor adjustment, whatever the outside temperature happens to be.
