The Toro 38361 is a powerful two-stage snow blower designed for efficient snow removal in residential and light commercial applications. With a robust build and advanced features, it addresses the common challenges faced during winter snow accumulation.

One of the main features of the Toro 38361 is its 18-inch clearing width, allowing it to efficiently clear snow from driveways, sidewalks, and patios.
