that's strange because toro did have problems with their plastic in the beginning.It was cracking and there was a recall on their machines.The dealer told me.And I'm referring to the frame being steel and the chute etc.Like I said,steel doesnt crack,plastic does.And you cant convince me that the plastic chute rotator is more robust than my chute rotator/deflector.

There are many variables going into making a plastic part. Having problems with plastics initially is not unusual, and expected by the designers and molders. This should not prematurely fault on plastics in general. Anecdotal failures only gives us the occurence/frequency of failures. Robustness has little to do with the material itself. There are many robust designs that are lightweight and plastic. Look around. I will leave it up to you to be enlightened or call it a day.

yes you have enlightened me.Plastic doesnt crack and is stronger than steel.Are you for real?Guess what steel doesnt crack in the initial stages or ever .I guess snowmann put u(AA) and ajallen in your places about the Toro auger gear case being better than the rest.Thats the problem AA.You think you know but snowmann does know.....

I'm reading and reading... But what about the " Husqvarna?" is the 14527 as good or better as the toro/ Ariens ?

I am slightly leaning toward this unit as well over the Toro 1028OXE. The Husky has the same steering settup but with a larger engine and it a bit narrower. Even snow blowers direct like the the Husky over the Toro!

Getting a bit carried away there. Steel cracks.

Has anybody seen or heard any type of feedback on these Husqvarna monsters???? I'd love to know how they perform in real world conditions and over the test of time.

Yea, I am interested also.�� I'm still trying to figure out which 2 stage to get and with the talk of the Husqvarna, it's peaked my interest.
