It's enough of a tight fit that I've added one thing to my routine: I use a velcro cinch-strap to hold down the two dead-man handles. I also have to work a little harder to wiggle it first over the handles, then over the engine&chute, then tuck the elastic under the back part of my tracks, and finally, I put the cover over the feed-auger housing (the very front of the blower). Where previously, I could put the older, slightly larger cover over the snow blower in any configuration, now I need to turn the discharge chute towards the center and lower the chute's deflector make it less tall. It also seems to have a bit less fabric overall. Some of that is that the elastic around the base is snugger. It is a bit tighter than the older cover I had. The elastic around the base is very stretchy (it needs to be). The fabric of the original held up fine for 6 years of summer sun. Then, in addition to my usual grinding up of the morning paper in the driveway, I ground-up the corner of my original cover as it lay under the snow.

I had an original Honda cover that I got at the time from the dealer for it that was a bit snug but worked fine. My Honda 928 snow-blower with tracks is circa 2011.
