snowblowers measured in hp vs.cc
Original Message   Aug 3, 2009 8:17 pm
Ariens has two snowblowers I am considering, the 624E (which is 6HP) and the ST24E (which is 249cc). There is about $100 difference in the price, but no one seems to be able to tell me how the power compares.The conversion tables are really no help (saying the 15-17 cc= 1 hp....but that means that the 249cc = about 15 1/2 HP which it can't be)Is Ariens worth the premium price?

   one word        TORO    we used to be a service center for ariens some time ago   without getting into alot of stuff,  we no longer carry ariens  and now are a full warranty sales and service center for toro/lawnboy.....  as a mechanic   all these basic snowblowers have the identical drive systems in them.

Ditto on the "have the same drive systems". I would avoid the Tecumseh Snow King. Personally, I think they suck. Loud fuel burners that cook the oil. An OHV is quieter and will save you gas. B+S isn't even putting their best engines on these snowblowers, and what you get is still a major improvement over the 30yr old engines of yesterday.
