Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

So I have made the decision to buy an Ariens snowblower, but I am cannot decide on which model to get.... I live in Nova Scotia and we get quite a bit of snow...heavy at times 12" and the driveway is 300 " and a downhill slope to the road.  I know the 7524E has the OHV and the 926E has the L-Head  but i cannot afford the DLE models or the 11 E.   I have been reading bigger is better so i am leaning toward the 926 E

Any help would be appreciated

Snowbunney,

             I would go the  926LE deluxe. It should handle anything that comes your way!!

Thanks you  Fred:    That is the Direction I have been going in so I should have it delivered by the end of this week...

I would also go with the 926LE. I have 2 Arien's machines. One is the 8526LE which has the 23.5" intake chute which is much taller than the chute height of the 7524 compact series.

When going up hill, you probably will have to lock both wheels to get the traction you need, especially in a 12" storm and higher.

You bought yourself a quality machine.
