Buying Large 2 Stage Snowblowers? My neighbor has a concrete business, and does snow removal during winter. He always buys these large Craftsman 2 stage snowblowers for his jobs. It seems like he always has problems with them, and they are not even a year old! The plastic chutes break, shear pins break, and sometimes they dont run very good. He also has an older Toro. The Toro never has any problems! I told him today that he should invest in a brand new Toro, or Ariens snowblower instead of a Craftsman because that is what the professionals use, and they are made to handle the tough jobs. Besides they are much easier to get parts for, and probably have a better warranty. I never have problems finding parts for my 35 plus year old Ariens snowblowers. Am i right?
