BLOW BLOW YOUR SNOW WITH THE KING OF SNOW! Snow Blowing ASMR With @Ariens Snowblower

[@WJCTechyman]

Have you ever tried a Honda? That's my dream machine. As far as I have read, Hondas are superior to everything else. As an owner of several pieces of Honda equipment, I can vouch for that. That said, if I needed a gas powered commercial mower, the next best option is probably Scag.

Is that why Honda stopped making gas powered lawnmowers? Like I said, I wouldn't trade it for anything!

Ariens are one of the best! My 926LE is unstoppable even in wet slush.

[@thomasfrost6993]

I own an Ariens 28 Deluxe that I bought in 2011, it's been a workhorse. When used, it has to do at least 2 hrs work each time, some times 4. No asphalt here, long dirt driveway and my yard is mostly lawn (I'm in the woods). This fall I had to finally fully rebuild the drivetrain, replacing bearings, shafts, bushings, drive chain and rebuild the wheel disengage unit. Over $200 in parts. Last year was a total front end repair, straighten augers, rebuild gear box and add more welds to the impeller (it broke loose once). That thing has done a lot of hard abusive work and has hit many branches, rocks, kids toys etc.. I start the season with 10 spare shear pins. I don't purposefully abuse it but...... I've replaced countless friction wheels too. Ariens are the best in my opinion. Thanks for your videos and Happy New Year to you.

[@johnw1178]

Don, I would pay to have that kind of powdery snow. Unfortunately I am on Long Island NY and have to deal with too much wet snow. The best thing I have been doing for the past 5 years is giving the chute and as much of the back of the auger housing a clean with degreaser and costed it with an automotive protectant (Graphene). Before I go out I spray WD40 on every area that will contact the snow. What a difference it makes. When i finish I spray the WD40 again to reduce the corrosion. I am still using my Honda HS621 from the early 90’s and for its age still looks great! An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Even in a wet snow rei don’t often have to clear a clog.

[@johnnguyen2376]

youre snow fall reminds me of 1972 over here in new york. we a lucky to have maybe 2 feet in the snow season. the great lakes up on yonder were you live in muskoka must be insane. i remember when i was 10 years old and younger the oshkosh snowblowers were blowing the snow off the roads up here. there is 196 acres over here on a hay farm here and we get wind and when the snow falls it seems to melt in no time. i just got the 8hp mongomery ward 26" 2 stage snowblower runing the other day with a new drive disc and tires. the same goes for the 1990 polaris indy trail fan cooled 488. hopefully we get some over this way. you can send a bunch down here? happy new year to you over in muskoka don.

Looks like my driveway and my snowblower but was still fun to watch even though I have done the exact same thing countless times before.

[@BG-vq9fd]

I like the edges a snowblower leaves. I rented a house in South Haven Michigan on the lake for 10 years. I started blowing snow with the Toro 20 inch paddle self propelled unit that quickly got to the point it could not blow the snow high enough. I also had an 1132 Honda on tracks that I took up there. The hydrostatic forward and reverse is great but it is a lot to wrestle around turns.

[@SM-ki8so]

Snow blowers are great for those who live in areas that get snow particularly after a heavy snowfall. I used to get up and clear our driveway for my dad before he had to leave for work in am. With heavy or wet snowfalls one took narrower swaths at a time. If snow was wet one had to frequently stop to clear out the snow thrower’s chute. Great memories. Now live in a warmer clime where there might be chaos if there is a dusting of snow. I appreciated our snow thrower that had a chain drive so one didn’t have to push it. If snow was wet had to frequently stop to clear out the chute which one hoped wouldn’t freeze in the chute at which point one had to thaw the snow in the chute. Good memories.

I have a 924. The differential makes an Ariens stand above a lot of others!

[@WJCTechyman]

Yeah, they're also the most problematic. It's pretty common on KZbin and forums that they are indeed not good. Also, if it was a true differential, it would be a heck of a lot different than the weak cogging ratcheting mechanism in the Ariens, it would be more akin to the locking systems you see in tractors. My Cub Cadet HD, looking at it has one of the most robust steering systems I have seen outside of Honda's heavily built systems. It hasn't failed me yet in the 4 years of commercial blowing the machine has been exposed to. It's similar to the planetary drive-based clutches you see in automotive automatic transmissions.
