Suzuki Engine on Ariens Snow Throwers? Original Message Jan 1, 2010 10:55 am
I was talking to a guy the other day who's a friend of owner of the local Toro/Ariens dealership. Long story short, this fellow said that the dealership owner told him that Suzuki was supplying engines for Ariens snow throwers. Has anyone out there heard of this or is someone getting smoke blown up their a$$? Another thing he told me was that he bought an Ariens with the 305cc 9.5 B&S snow engine on it and the dealership owner told him that the engine was really putting out closer to 11 h.p than 9.5. If that's true, it would appear that my suspicions of the power ratings for the 305cc engine are pretty much substantiated and the different power labels were for marketing purposes only.
