Ariens 522 or Toro 2450
Original Message   Nov 16, 2006 7:42 pm
I'm going to be buying a snowblower in the very near future, and am debating between the two. I've heard many great things about both machines. I used a freinds Toro last winter, and noticed that it didn't pull itself along as well as my old mtd.  Just wondering if the Ariens would be the same. If anyone has any experiences with either of these two, that would be great. Also, which one would you buy?  Here are the links to the two I'm looking at :  http://www.toro.com/home/snowthrowers/gassinglestage/ccr2450.html   The Toro 2450 GTS

http://www.ariens.com/snow_products/single_stage_sno_thros/522_ec/    The Ariens 522 EC

Any Info Would Be Appreciated

Oops almost forgot, the Toro/Lawn Boy is around 6-6.5 horse power (as best I can make out on the internet).

The performance specs of the LB more closely match the 6.5hp Toro 3650.
