For the northern members Snowblower advice
Sorry I know this is tabu.
I need a new snow blower and lowes has 15% off Troy bilt this weekend. I have a TB power washer I have been happy with. Anyone one up north have any experience with the 26 ,28or 30 inch models.

here in wisconsin everyone tells me Ahrens is the ONLY brand to buy, and to stay away from their Snow-Tek line. buy the classic or pro models.
that's the only one I"m shopping for.'06 Supra Launch 20SSV-gone but never forgotten

Uh, yeah, can't help you there. Troy bilt makes mowers around here and they are junk unless they have the Honda engine. Not sure what they put on their snowblowers though.
My Mom said I'm not allowed to get wet!

Ariens definitely makes the best. I have a Husquvarna that I've been very pleased with. I think Troy bilt seems to be more of a hardware store brand... Kind of cheap, but I've never owned one.

it all depends how far you have to throw the snow and how large an area you need to clean. I have a honda that has been start on first pull for 19 years

I have a John Deere 1028 that I've had for the past 4 years... very solid machine. A 1330, 1332 or 1338 would suit you well if you wanted to go bigger. The JD dealer network is fantastic and many products are also sold at the big box stores (usually the smaller models).
I must admit I'm somewhat partial since JD is my employer. Good luck!2022 Moomba Mojo
