Toro 1128 specs state that you're INDEED clearing 2,200lbs a minute. I would assume that the Ariens being a bit faster moving, MAY do more http://www.toro.com/home/snowthrowers/gastwostage_powermax/1128OE.html

You know I used to be so impressed with figures like that but now I think it is just marketing smoke and mirrors. If you pay attention to a snowblower, single or two stage, that is functioning properly they all move a lot of snow, heck even my old little Toro single given the right amount of snow and conditions moves a lot of snow. Remember this, snow carries a different amount of weight depending on how much moisture content or how "wet" it is. This type of snow is much heavier than the white fluffy stuff but may be signifantly less of it but is is working man and machine much harder than say light stuff at twice the height. See what I mean? I don't place a lot of "weight" pardon the pun on these figures. To be honest they ALL move a lot of snow....thats what makes them all so fun.... C

Jogo, How's the condition up there, I won't be back until Saturday & was wondering how much is on the ground there & what's it going to be like in a few days. It's mostly wet now temps above freezing. We had about 3" when I got up this A.M. at 5:00 to snow blow, I have to be at work at 6. Once sun cam up most roads were only left with slush, then it rained all day ...still raining.

Jogo, With luck it'll all be gone by Saturday otherwise I'll probably be dealing with a sheet of ice. Waited all htis time to use that snowblower & then not around when it finally snows. Oh well.... By the way, did you trade in your 1128 for the new 11528? I remember you had the 1128 last year. The 11528 is this year's model.
