Original Message   Feb 10, 2006 10:48 am
 I am looking at buying a used Ariens ST524,  any opinion and what to look for.   Will this machine handle the winter snow in CT?  NOt a huge driveway, but a slight incline.

Thanks for any and all imput

Not sure what part of Connecticut you live in or what your typical annual snowfall is. If this year is any indication of what the future winters bring, that machine would probably do it. I think you are about to get hammered by a Nor'easter down there, and to be able to deal with the occasional heavy snowfall I'd go with a reputable brand with an 8HP engine.
