Cub Cadet walk behind snow thrower

[JPPWNY]

Any opinions on the Cub Cadet walk behind snow throwers?
I am looking at 10HP, 26" Cub but I never see any feedback about them.
I know they are made by MTD, but I frankly have never had issues with MTD products in the past and these throwers look pretty decent.
Any feedback would be greatly appraciated.

I like the Ariens machines, but I have a Cub dealer half a mile from home and we have a grear working relationship.

Also, are Cub snow throwers made in the USA? I know Ariens are. I will always buy American when given the choice.

Thanks.

I have a 12 year old WHITE snowblower that is also made by MTD and I have yet to have a problem with it. I would buy another...

The Ariens is a better machine IMHO. They have a much heavier duty gearbox than the Cub. In my area comparable HP models are priced about the same. I would go with the Ariens......it seems to be a better built machine.

Good Luck!
