Hey everyone! New to the forum.
Just picked up a Husqvarna 10527SBE. Have only used it once but it worked quite well in semi-heavy (26-30 degree temps). The snow was probably around 12" deep and throwing it 20-25'. It handled the 18 inches (or so) of plowed snow at the street without problems also.
It was a somewhat spur of the moment purchase but the price was just too good to pass up. The local Ace Hardware had them marked down for the season. Their regular price was (I believe $1149.99) and it was on sale for $929.99. I actually went to Ace to get a snow shovel.....they were sold out so I got the Husky. It's alot more fun to use than a shovel too. Had I been shopping for a snow blower, I would have looked to Ariens. From what I've seen, my Husqvarna was made by the same company that makes (at least some of) the Ariens models. (AYP?) I doubt that I could have purchased the same Ariens for even close to the price I got this one for.
Snow is falling now with 4-8 inches expected by the time is stops tomorrow evening. I hope I don't have any problems but I'll put it to work again tomorrow and report its performance.
I'd also be interested in a repair manual also, if possible.
Thanks!!
