Snow Blowers

[OLE442]

Looking to buy a larger snow blower to do mine, my mother-in-law and my daughter,s driveways. I have a smaller Snapper that is just barely adequate. I had a buddy who had a large walk behind Troy Built mower that he said was crap and he gave it away and when I was a kid we had a Toro mower that was great but we replaced it with a new one that was nothing but trouble so I have bad opinions of those. Under $1000.00 would be nice. Any experience or opinions?

Look at ariens they have ones based on different snowfall amounts, where do you live?

Poulan Pro here in CT, duel stage 24 inch, all metal, even the exhaust chute![Broken External Image]:

That Poulan above looks just like a Craftsman I paid $800 for several years ago. It has been okay.

I believe Electrolux makes both Poulan and Craftsman equipment.

No, Poulan Pro's parent company is Husqvarna. Also Craftsman Snow Blowers use plastic chutes, not all metal.

What is snow? :bwahaha:

Steve B, true dat on the plastic chute for the Craftsman; but other than that and the color, mine (or should I say "the ex's") looks JUST like the pic above.



Personally, the plastic chute is a bit better IMHO for certain snows. Powder is no issue, but if you have wet, icy snow, the thin metal of the end of the chute can can re-freeze and clog-up problems.
