when u buy the sports car of snowblowers, do u get a latte also??lol....

Like I said,steel will rust but it doesnt take much time and effort to touch it up and u wont have a sticking problem...The snowblowers that r 30+ yrs old r steel not plastic my friend.

ope please....dont even try comparing toro to simplicity.Until now toro offered the tecumseh L-head engine on the machines except for the 1128OXE.And even on the 09 models,all of their machines have the same size tire,not the case with simp.Toro loves plastic.And save your breath on how it's hi tech NASA grade plastic.Plastic will always be plastic.If it does crack ...you're in for a big replacement bill.Steel doesnt crack.It might ding or rust but thats easy to touch up.Also Simp uses cast iron gear case on their Large frame and Pro machines.And I have spoken to numerous ope dealers.They laugh at Toro using left ,right power steering.It makes the machine more susceptible to breakdown and its not necessary.Toro is a good yuppie machine lol.

How do u feel about the Ariens Pro machines Borat?Besides the auger gear case being cast iron,do they share the same internal parts as the deluxe?Do the simplicity large frame and pro machines still use quality internal parts as the older machines?How would the average person know?Most of us just have to go by what is in the brochure.Unless someone is an engineer for a snowblower co.and actually tells us the specs,or works at a repair shop.One ope dealer told me they are all "junk".I guess he feels all these new snowblowers are not as robust as the older ones.

One thing I have observed about Ariens,every year there's a modification to the previous model.Geez can they not get it right?But snowmann always makes it sound like Ariens is on the ball improving previous models etc etc.Bigger this,thicker that blah blah blah.Hey Ariens get it right and you wont have to change the change from the previous year.I understand making improvements but I dont think thats what Ariens is doing.They r fixing their screw up from the yr before.They must be experimenting with inferior parts and then fixing it.
