Snow Blowers on Sale in Fall?

I would think that spring is the big sale since they want to clear out any remaining inventory.
I got a slight discount on a Honda blower in late Aug/early September, but I'd agree that you might get a better deal in the Spring.
Keep your eyes open for sales, but remember that there will be a mad-rush for snowblowers once the first snow hits. If you want to save, maybe the retailers have a "X % off with our credit card" offer?
I've purchaced my SnowBlower(s) in the Fall(Oct-Nov) at the seasons better prices. Look for sales and maybe buy online and pickup in store. All depends on your budget!

There are various 10% off coupons floating around. Some are in USPS "movers packets" but that's drying up. Sometimes HD honors Lowes and vice versa.
Co-irker got that ariens for $599 minus 10% two years back so at least they haven't gotten too much worse pricewise.

I am interested in the 24" Sno-Tek (Ariens with a Chinese 208 cc engine) at Home Depot. Around $630 regular price.
Just saw that this weeks Sears ad is showing a 24' blower that appears to be a clone of the Sno-Tek, on "sale" for $630, same as HD regular online price. It says it has a Craftsman engine. I assume it is a China sourced engine, like the Sno-Tek?

The new Ariens AX engines are made by LCT. LCT is a US company who designed the engines and then has them made over seas. I've heard good things about these new engines. Lots of power for the engine size and good fuel consumption. I'm on the snowblower search as well. I looked at the sno-tek as well. Mills fleet farm has it for 599.

That's a good price. Too bad shipping is $230 ! Home Depot is offering free shipping, but $629 for the 24" Sno-Tek blower.

MA has a no sales tax weekend in Aug where they go on sale.
I'd prefer a quality used one than a new MTD.

Get on Craigslist and find one there. Make sure the person selling whatever you find starts it for you (one pull start!), and demonstrates it's functions to your satisfaction. If they claim it ran last year but won't start this year, don't fall for that. If you get a good deal on something with a two stroke Tecumseh engine and you need to put paddles on it or a scraper, you'll be much better off than most new ones with Chinese engines.
I just bought an Ariens 722, one-stage blower for $80 from Craigslist. Looks brand new. Don't know what brand the 6 HP motor is. Kind of afraid to look! It runs great though.

If you have a Menards in your state you may want to consider this one. Some pretty good reviews on Amazon.
