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

I notice the Lowes and Home Depot stores have a line of new snow blower models for sale.  But who picks up, repairs or services and returns this 200-300 pound machine to you when it needs help ?  Home Depot and Lowe's don't have repair shops, sell parts, offer pick-up and return services etc.  So where should you buy that new MTD built Cub Cadet Top Consumer Rated Snowblower ?

I work on all of my stuff and parts can be ordered online so not really an issue for me. I will say though that I have a few years left on my Craftsman warranty in case I have a catastrophic failure. So far it looks like I should have passed on the extended 5 year warranty. It was relatively cheap though.
