Take pity upon me. I've been lurking here, and I'm looking for some suggestions on a snowblower.
Cub Cadet, 10 hp, Tecumseh L-head, 28-inch
Husqvarna, 10.5 hp, Tecumseh OHV, 30-inch
Craftsman, 10.5 hp, Briggs OHV, 30-inch
Arien, 9 hp, Tecumseh L-head, 26-inch
The Husq and the Craftsman look to me to be made by the same manufacturers. The Sears guy told me that theirs is made by Murray. Yikes! I actually prefer the first three for ease of use. Of course, I'm aware of the Ariens reputation, though the 9-hp model isn't overly impressive.
Any thoughts? (My driveway is 25 by 50, and I live in Maine. Snowfally can be heavy, but the worst part is the pile at the end of the driveway that's caused by the snow plow!)
Thanks,
David
