ariens is a good brand. We have an 8hp one that my grandfather had, it's gotta be at least 10 years old and its still ticking away.

When I was pricing them a few years ago, they seemed to run ~$100 per HP. So the one above is in the range. That is a big one, might be too big for around here. Where does Dad live?
Sam's club always seemed to have good deals each year.

I love the honda's we've had one for years and it still starts up like new every year. Only thing thats ever had to be replaced is the bolts on the auger but thats just a safety feature if you get into some hard snow.
