Saw Husqvarna model 96723 10.5 HP with "power steering" at Lowes for $1000 and have a 10% coupon.

Was contemplating the Ariens 926DLE over the similar LE model because it handles reportedly so much easier.

Is the 96723 worth looking into? Is it in the same class as the Ariens reputation? Need something that's powerful and easy to maneuver.

The Husvarna is almost $600 less... tempting or fate?

well for a cheaper price than the DLE model, the 11528LE has a trigger lock which assists in turning. I find the LE just fine with one wheel unlocked and since it has pretty big air tires with both locked it can turn ok and seems easier to turn than my old 70's Hahn-Eclips Snow Giant.

I mean I find the 926LE just fine with......etc. It can have either wheel locked or unlocked so the exhaust in the face problem (you may have read about) is solved by unlocked the righ wheel instead of left.

The 11528le is even easier because you can "on the fly" lock and unlock the left wheel.

Might finally have a reason to start the old girl tomorrow. Longest stretch I can ever remember in a New England Winter without any plowable snow.
