I used to own a Craftman 11.5 -30in snowthrower and it did not throw snow as far as I needed it to ( I have a huge driveway with a large parking area at the rear) . I also had some reliabilty issues with the Craftsman. ( It broke three times on me and it was only 2 yrs old)                                                                                                                          We get alot of snow her in NewBrunswick and after much research I went out and purchased a new Ariens 11528 LE snow thrower.  It seems like a ruggedly built machine (heavy steel construction) unlike the Craftsman and it has alot of nice features to boot.                                                                                                                               What I really want to know is will it throw snow 49 feet like the specs say it will?

Thanks for your replies!

I made a mistake in the product name.  It's called  "Snow Shooter" and it's made by Spray Nine.

It says on the bottle it's a silicone based lubricant and you spray it on, let it dry and buff off.

I wonder ...if you want to use something...I don't...why not just buy silicone spray? I think it would cost less and do the same thing.   Or a 3in 1 oil type spray , it will help prevent rusting also.
