Re: Ariens 6hp or 7hp or Simplicity 8.5hp

It's good to hear someone say that bigger isn't always better on this forum - because this is true! I just bought the 6hp Ariens and it is great - I am out of town for two weeks right now and I know that my wife can actually manuver our machine around to clear the snow. Sure more power = more snow = more distance (that's pretty obvious advice) but a well built blower which meets your needs is probably the right way to go! Corey - 624 Ariens |

Thanks I have opted for the 624E machine - it also has an OHV engine which purrs nice and quiet! It actually snowed today and got to use it. It did the job perfectly and since there were only a few inches I already had it cranked up into the 6th speed! Cheers! |

How important is speed control?

I am looking at the Ariens 520E or the 624E and I believe that 5 hp and 20 inches will be adequate for the length of my driveway - probably 5 car lengths and 2 cars wide and I live in northern British Columbia so we see a fair amount of snow (however, over a long season) but i am worried about the fact that the 520E doesn't have various speeds - please help!! The prices in CDN$ are $679 (520E) vs. $809 (624E) Thanks!
