$799.00 Home Depot decision

Hello, Could you some advise as I have not owned this large of a snowblower before. I was hoping to get the *compact* Ariens 2 stage but all are sold out . Due to the current HD 20% off promotion, the Ariens 9.25HP and the Toro 8HP(826LE) are both selling for $799.00. I think these are both excellent machines but would you guys recommend one over for the same price? Thanks, |

its almost a toss up, if you have a gravel driveway, to be on the safe side, go for the ariens, steel is the way to go, don't have to worry about any plastic or cracking the stick off if you hit it wrong, but if its paved and you don't have to worry about things getting chucked into the plastic go for the toro. Its a great machine and the red color is nice. Both are great machines, so far I am enjoying the features and operation of the 926LE. Haven't had snow for it but the levels and such are nice and it looks like construction equipment :)
