I am looking for a new snow blower and have discovered that the power

Even the people selling these machines don't know what the "Horse Power"
ratings are so that old geezers like myself can understand what is going
on.
Does anyone have any general rules regarding the conversion of Foot
Pounds
or CC's to Horse Power?

Quick questions rarely have quick answers

Talk to a local shop that sells and services them, you wont get any
service at the big stores

That is exactly what I have been doing and they have no accurate information
in this regard. They could only offer guesses.
