Re: Your help needed - Toro 1028lxe or Ariens 1130DLE

Just a note, both the Ariens and the Toro have 3 tooth impellers, I double checked last night.

I'll be purchasing the Toro this afternoon. 

Thanks for your input everyone.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm honestly not worried about the plastic Toro parts, I actually prefer them.  They won't rust, and they're easier to replace IF something goes wrong with them.  I find it hard to believe that Toro would use sub standard parts on their machines, especially safety affecting parts such as chutes, etc.  However, I could be wrong of course.

The chute control is slick, but you bring up a new point surrounding the impellers.  I'll have to look into that further.

Thanks again.
Your help needed - Toro 1028lxe or Ariens 1130DLE

I've been researching for a couple of months now.  Today is the day you help me make the decision.  I live in Southern Ontario, Canada, where we can expect numerous snow storms and good accumulation during the winter.  I have a 2 car wide, 50' long drive way.

I have narrowed my search down to the Toro 1028LXE and the Ariens 1130DLE.  The Toro up here is $1899 and the Ariens is $1749.  I would like to make a decision today and buy one of these units with your help.

I'm leaning towards the Toro because of the plastic parts (yes, I think they are a positive, especially after reading posts in this forum) and the Chute control.

Your opinions are appreciated.

Thanks!
