Blower worked well! We only had 4 or 5 inches total but there was a little drifting. The deepest drifts were only 8 or 10 inches, though. The temps were in the high 20's to low 30's so the snow was fairly heavy. The snow that was closest to the ground was really wet and heavy....almost slush. Went through all of it with no problems at all, as expected.

My only complaint about this machine is it's size for my use. My driveway is about 110' long and single wide for about half of its length. A smaller snowblower would have been better for maneuverability. I have to overblow about half of my drive and wanted a machine big enough to do that without any problems.  I guess a "too big" snow blower *can* be a problem but I'd rather have that as a problem rather than a machine that won't handle the snow.

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!!
