Size Snowblower?…?
I live in upstate ny in the adirondack region where snowfall amounts can average around 90 inches per year. I just bought a house and need to purchase a snowblower. My driveway is around 15ft wide by 40ft long, and i will need to clear a path to my shed to store the unit, which is about 50ft away from the driveway. I have narrowed it down to an ariens brand, i just need to know the size i need. It appears my choices are the 10hp 27'' cut, or the 8hp 24'' cut. I need some advise, the only other difference btwn the two that seems significant is the fact that the 10hp machine has a headlight and the 8hp does not. Thanks for the help
Also, the price difference btwn the two units is around 0, the 10hp obviously being the more expensive one
I personally use an 8HP 24" cut MTD snow thrower and I live Southeastern Wisconsin. We typically get about the same snowfall and my driveway is comparable to yours and The 8HP works great. I think what you need to consider is the price between the two. If it is not that big of difference the 10HP 28" cut will save you a little time.
