hi guys hows it going now. just throwing my hat in the door to see if i get a snowball tossed at me. been away a long time and really started missing things.especially with all the snow. so i thought i would check in . we have been very busy at work with all the snow.well over 2 feet now approaching 3 feet in many spots. have sold most of our snowblowers.had a couple ariens units 13 horse pro model 36 inch bucket. sold one today so of course i was all over the front lawn with it. nice machine . we also sell the snappers ,and an 11 horse with the briggs will outblow the ariens . but i think the difference is in the engine. you just cant beat the torque of those new ohv briggs engines. once i get the feel for this i could put in a review or two if allowed ,i will try not to be to biased thats all for now ... snowshoveler out

Welcome, Welcome!
It has been a lonnnnnnnnnnnnng time. Glad to hear all is well. So.................as I recall, before you went MIA, your house was surrounded by 6 feet of ice!  . Is that why you got the new home? Got away from that river, did you?  Congratulations on the new purchase. You were never forgotten! Ken

we also sell the snappers ,and an 11 horse with the briggs will outblow the ariens . but i think the difference is in the engine. you just cant beat the torque of those new ohv briggs engines. snowshoveler out ABSOLUTELY the truth!  Those Briggs Intek engines are much more powerful than the Tecumsehs. Must be why I "upgraded" to them!  The 11hp is definately more powerful than the 13 hp Tec. , and the 13 Hp is a MONSTER for power. IMHO............But, hey, what do I know, I've only used them about 2500 times in the last 3 years!

hey Rob... just so happens that New england is just a little south of us and if you notice on a real map. (seems on some maps canada is erased out and Maine is a huge state...ha ha ) your weather always comes to me after you have it a while. and then it goes to Newfoundland. we got hit with 3 large blizzards in 7 days. they are still digging out in town. later chris

I''m not sure what happened, my comments weren't posted, just the quote. I've been thinking of posting a review of the 11HP B&S Intek Snow engine that I put on my snowblower but don't know wether to put it in the Reviews ( its not really OPE) or in the discussion area. Any suggestions?
