Re: Ariens 1130dle or a Toro 1028lxe

I just want to thank all of you who helped me with my choice, I purchased a Toro 1128oxe today, and it should arrive tomorrow. I really liked the Ariens also but they didn't have much of a selection of the pro series at the local dealer. The main reason for opting out for the Toro was I got it for a good price and it comes with the Tecumseh ohv engine on it. I also like the chute controls. So thanks.

I was also wondering if the Ariens, after you start the auger and the drive system can you take one hand off the levers to change the controls, say to turn the chute. Will it still continue to go forward and blow snow.

Thanks everyone for your feed back and it is helping me. The only thing I was wondering is why the 1130dle doesn't have diferential lock, like the next model down, it would be nice at the end of the drive way when going through those snowbanks.

I am looking at buying my first snowblower and would like to get your comments on which of these two machines I should buy, it is a toss up. I like the steering capabilities and the joystick of the Toro, but I also like the size and power of the Ariens. Is the Ariens 1130dle easy to turn at the end of the drive way, and also how reliable is the l-head engine. Thnaks
