I've been researching several different blowers. The Poulan Pro PR1330ES, which sold out, then the Husky 1827 and the Ariens ST30LE/DLE. I really liked the Craftsman (MTD) 88833, but it's 33" and $2000+. But then I found the CubCadet 930SWE. It has everything the 33" has except it's 30" and $1600. Weighing in at 385Lb, it's no tinny sheetmetal toy. I know the MTDs get a lot of crap for being bottom of the barrel, but thing thing is a notch above the Troy-bilt 3090XP and red craftsman blowers. The impeller size is a whopping 16 inches. And if I want (if the 357cc doesn't have enough oomph) I can drop in the 420cc motor.
16" impeller (4 blade) / 16" auger,
357cc engine (Zongshen). 11HP I believe.
Crank (no cables) chute rotation
Power steering
16 x 6.5" tires
