Ariens HD vs Ariens Dealer

Last September, I purchased an Ariens 2005 11528LE Deluxe from Home Depot. What's the difference between the HD version and the dealer version. Do I really have to worry that much being in Northeastern MA. I had an Ariens 7HP before and my new one really took care of the EOD and my 24 x 64 hockey rink.

Dear Kojack, There is no difference between the two places, except that a dealer will give you better service. Also, the dealer sells the Professional series also. known as the "DLE" series. That is a good unit you have there........congrats! You have now used it for one season, if you are pleased with it for your needs, enjoy!! Frank D.

Ajace is correct........ A 11528LE is the same anywhere you buy it. The professional line, the DLE series, are a step up. Key difference is the traction control drive. Trying both, I personally prefer the DLE line, mainly because of this. That "turn on a dime" ability is worth it's weight in gold.......but more gold it will cost ya . That is not to put down the LE series at all.......I'm sure that for every DLE Ariens sells they sell 30 of the LE's Any Ariens is a good snowblower. Congrats! Frank D.
