This is an interesting forum that I ran into as I was searching for Snow blower reviews. A lot of contributors seem to know their stuff very well.
Regarding my topic/question, I’m looking into buying a Snow blower this season for the tricky weather in Toronto but I am limited in my options. I talked to a Toro dealer today (the only one that was open on Sundays) and he said that toro two stage snow blowers are out of stock for the season at pretty much all the stores! Which sounds weird with the snow season just starting. I’ll call a few more tomorrow;
I’m looking into the Toro 826 LE and 828 LXE, craftsman 1350 series: (http://www.sears.ca/gp/product/B001J13GJ6/sr=1-2/qid=1228622359/ref=sr_1_2/187-3974376-1766150?ie=UTF8&searsBrand=core&mqnodeid=396563011) or the two brands from Ariens; Model 1130DLE and Model 927LE which I have to find out their availability status tomorrow morning.
I have an interlocked driveway which is not huge but pretty big and the city usually leaves me a solid hill at the end of the driveway.
A comment I have ran into so far:
"Ariens is hard to start at times and it tend to rust after a few years"
Not sure if it’s true…
Any help in regards to selecting the optimal machine with a brief explanation as to why they were chosen over other options will be greatly appreciated.
