Great info, Snowman, just what I needed to know.I also emailed Snapper on these and got a worthless reply from them.  Sounds like I need to finalize between the 24 or 27" Ariens deluxe now.

The 24" would be sufficient for my needs, but for $100 more the 27" gives me the remote axle unlock.

Thank you very much for taking the time to share all of that info!

Very interesting.

How would you rate these against the current Ariens deluxe series, say the 24 and 27, or to last years Snappers?  It appears the Ariens 24 has the pin lock axle, while the 27 has the remote unlock.  The 27" Snapper does not say anything about steering, while the 29 says it has remote unlock.
New Snapper snow blowers?

It's summer, but I'm thinking about a new blower.  Sears has several Snapper's on their website, that as far as I can tell, are new models.  Snappers and Simplicitys websites do not show these. 

Sears has a M1227E and a M1429E.  You can see the model if you zoom in on the picture.  They also show the I927E as limited availability now.  It may be a conspiracy theory, but I believe Snapper is discontinuing the 'Intermediate' series, and these new 'M' models are 'Mediums'.  The specs from Sears don't quite jive as they list both new ones as 176 pounds in weight.  Both have electric chutes and 16" wheels.

Anyone seen or heard of these yet?  Emails to snapper have so far gone unanswered.
