Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

Hello, I am new to this forum .
Please help me in making a choice between a ARIENS st27le and a simplicity L1226e I am leaning towards the Simplicity
I have and old Husqvarna ST-522h which is not self propelled so any thing will be a improvment!
Question? how many hp is simplicity l1226e? i seem to find diffrent  info on diffrent web sites
I live in rhode island i am not in the snow belt but 8/10 inches is not unheard of but 4 inches is more likely
Thanks
Gary

L1226e has an 1150 series engine. 8.5hp, not 10.5...

The Ariens has the 305cc Max series engine 1350 series, while the Simplicity has the Snow series 249cc 1150 series. Definitely more engine on the Ariens if that is important to you.
