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

I have found the discussions here very useful in the selection of my new machine. Just picked up my new Ariens 926LE and am waiting for Chicago's biggest snowfall of the season beginning tonight. I had been close to selecting the DLE but it was $500.00 more and the salesperson stated that for my use 40' double drive and 120' sidewalk I would never realize a difference. He also stated that they were identical in terms of longevity given my use. After looking at Husqvarna, Toro, Poulan, Craftsman, none have the build specs of an Ariens. Happy Plowing all and thanks for the info!

SNWMAN,

You bought a very good machine that will give you many years of pleasure.

Before I had my blower, I used to hate WX warnings of heavy snowfall.

Now I look forward to them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No work, just fun!!!
