Time to start a thread about what kind of oil to run in it.

I am sure if time was no factor EVENTUALLY you would see a difference in engine wear. Fact of the matter is that there are a lot of machines out there that have been running strong for 20+ years on 5w-30. Kills me when people are so anal about running a "premium" oil in the unit but run out and buy ethanol fuel. :eek:

If you live in a REALLY cold area then I understand the whole easier flowing synthetic argument.

So how much was it? I'm in the market for one and looking at different brands. I almost bought one a few years ago and ended up with a used one which I traded for a single stage when I sold my house. I'm in between this model, the Platinum 30, and a Simplicity.

I believe the 28 Pro is around 2K, give or take depending on the dealer, it is the top of the line and certainly built to last. It is a beautiful machine!

It seems to be that you have to go to at least the platinum level in order to get the nicer directional snow tires. The Compact and Deluxe have really cheap tires, I cant believe the Deluxe 30 at Home Depot had the same tires as the Compact 22. I guess tires mean a lot to me :) I like the Ariens Platinum 24, that would be my first choice based on the area I have to clear and how much snow we get in Illinois, but I must say I like the Honda snowblowers with the track drive too, just pricey.

Yes I paid $1995. Can't wait to use it. The Honda's are awesome but very expensive. There are a lot of good throwers. The Ariens of course, the Toros are fantastic, especialy the 1028 OXE. I also think the Huskys with the hydrostatic transmissions are hard to beat for the price.
