Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

Ok lets here it what are the actual differances between these units? For the record I have the Toro 826OXE but I am looking for something with a larger engine so I am considering selling my Toro and buying something else and I limited it down to the Toro and Husqvarna but if im going to do this again it has to be the last time so I decided to through the Honda in there. I know how much better honda engines are but from my limited snow blower experience I dont think spending that kind of cash can be justified just for a better engine.

Any suggestions? Or maybe I over looked some other models that I should be considering? BTW besides a larger engine I need power steering, something similiar (or better) then what I have now on my Toro.

Even thought about looking at the Deere 1028E! Few hundred less then the Husqvarna and half the price of the Honda! But I dont know how it stacks up against the others.

Thanks in advance!

Time for a turbocharger I guess, at least it wouldn't oveheat in the cold. There are guys who build engines for shifter karts so maybe someone could build your 8HP into something with more oomph?
