Message: [QUOTE="twiceahusky, post: 4078422, member: 7126"] If you were getting significantly more snow than CT, I would make sure you get a good horse power to width ratio. My 8 hp 26 inch width machine will bog down, but my 10 hp 24 inch width machine will not. I have an old crappy MTD that has been going for 18 years, and an old nice Ariens that’s probably 20 years old. Both work fine, the Ariens has thicker metal and doesn’t rust through and bend on the sides. What I do recommend… I did an impeller mod on both by adding a rubber blade. Holy crap does it throw better - especially in heavy wet snow. The are 1 million posts about this, most agree. Of course I might not do that to a brand new snowblower, which hopefully has tighter tolerances in the drum. But anybody else reading this, go for the rubber paddle impeller mod [/QUOTE]
