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

I have an Ariens snowblower that my Father bought new in 1970, I still have it, it still works as good as new! Wouldn’t trade it for any other machine!

[@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.

You can't beat those old Tecumseh Snow King engines. My old 1995 MTD has a Tecumseh Snow King 8HP, works better than my 2020 Briggs and Stratton snowblower. We had about 7-8 inches of snow on Christmas Eve here in Eastern Ontario, now it's all melted and currently getting some more wet snow right now. Hope you and your family had a great Christmas and New Years. Take care Don!

[@dhache1195]

Is this one "old" for you? I have a Ariens 824 from 1973, still going almost strong and enough for my needs.

[@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.

[@BG-xr5bi]

You should try a BCS blower

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.

[@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.

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.

[@UnkleAL1962]
