Ariens................ Hmmmmm...............
You mean MTD? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
My Bad! ! ! ! ! I dont like to disseminate bad information! I went out to get some parts today for my MTD POS blower and took a minute to look at some new snow blowers.
Frank,
You are definately right, there is no comparison between the MTD and the Ariens!
the Ariens is definately much beefier. It also has a cast iron worm drive gearbox compared to the MTDs cheesy little aluminum one amoung other things.
But........................ It uses the same "friction drive" assy as the MTD and even the exact same parts, Hmmmm........................ It will be very interesting to see who makes them for Ariens.
