I replied with the "where" in the previous post. I found the snowblower at Lowe's, and no real great deals, I just compared the ones from HD and Lowes, since I pretty much live in chain-store land. If there a mom-and-pop place around, I prolly would have bought from them if the prices were in the ballpark. I like supporting the local economy when I can, but it is really hard to do that around here. One thing I have learned about living in the Maple Grove/North Brooklyn Park area, there is NOTHING original around here. It was all pretty much undeveloped land up until about 10 years ago, and the only options are franchise stores.
Anyways, I wanted to spend 500-800 and this was my best choice. As far as service goes, there is a 2 year parts only warranty from the factory. I could have added the extra year offered by Lowe's, but declined. I'm a mechanic's son who worked on cars/snowmobiles/lawn mowers/dirt bikes/etc my whole life, so I'm confident that I would be able to fix any small problems that would arise. I'm one of those dorks who actually gets excited when a small engine breaks, 'cause I get to spend the day taking stuff apart and fixing it. Good luck finding one right now tho. They were flying out of the store on BF, the guy said he sold 30 that day alone. On Dec 2, 2007 12:49 PM, Gruss Gott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Ray wrote: > > Toro - 6HP, 21" two stage.
