Crnr2Crnr Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Just realized I haven't fired up the snowblower yet which is an annual 6am Thanksgiving morning tradition. I honestly find moving and removing snow a peaceful and fulfilling endeavor. Bonus being, snow ❄️ to ride. Who's ready for winter? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambroski Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Fired mine up yesterday as a matter of fact. Ariens started on the first pull and purred like a kitten. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I went out to the barn and realized that my bil’s fancy new Husky is sitting there while he’s building his new house and ran out of room to store it. So I thought, ah, I’ll see how this fancy bitch works. Yeah. Made one pass and went back to the barn for my Ariens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member 800renegaderider Posted November 30, 2021 Gold Member Share Posted November 30, 2021 I really enjoy snow blowing I don’t know why I just find it really fun 😂. I showed my son how to clean the carb and check over the ariens back up blower I have last weekend so that’s ready to go. I haven’t put the blower on my old jd yet but it’s on the list for this upcoming weekend. Bring on the snow 👍. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFM Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) Word to the wise, tan into 3 different older ariens walk behind blowers last year that gas cap vents broke. Why 3 out if the tgree I know did this same winter ? Who knows. Engine starts to lose power and then fie. You can’t restart for a while. Try loosening cap a bunch and if sympttoms go away, you found your issue. Obviously this can happen to any manufacturers gas powered anything. So put it in back if your head. I don’t enjoy blowing snow all that much but i like throwing snow away from the drive and house vs using a plow and building walls thst build up and can hold water as it melts during spring or etc. Edited November 30, 2021 by CFM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reason to buy anything other than Ariens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFM Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) I repo’d my Ariens off someone that owed me money for s long tine and kept making promises. 15 yrs ago ? 18 ? Went to his ‘house’ for a ‘promised I have the money come over’ and well he didn’t. He’s out snowblowing his driveway so I go take the snowblower and a bunch of other stuff outside his ‘house’ and that was the end if that. I’d rather the cash, but wtf people ? Atkeast snow blowing produces better results than plowibg my drive. Edited November 30, 2021 by CFM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFM Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Sucks having to edit so much per post. Using PC during parts of day at work when in office is great. No issues with a normal keyboard. Okay, enough with hijack posts. Back to snowblowers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ariens ftw was going to start it until the neighbor called to help unload 137lbs of fresh cut pork and a case of beer.

ckf Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Fired the Honda up a few weeks ago. Great machine that always starts by the second pull, even in below zero weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I,ve used my nephews Honda, and I love how far they throw the snow. My Kubota front mount works awesome for me. I wished I had 20 driveways to blow out after each snowfall.

Making piles with this has always been more fun...... I see plowing as a necessity for a large area but, for me at least, I enjoy sculpting around my drive and house with a blower. I’m pretty anal when it comes to my little winter wonderland and I want it just so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The throw the snow very well and start on the 1st or second pull every time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalina Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I think the Hondas are the only ones that can really compare well to the Ariens. None of the rest seem to work as well. I had one from Sears for years that I thought was decent, until it died, and I got an Ariens. Night and day better. Bolens, Toro and the others don't seem to hold up well at all.

Deephaven Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Plow on the Sportsman and leaf blower for the deck/sidewalk is all I use. That being said, I have near zero sidewalk and a monster driveway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the year Rob tried to find one 5 or 6 years ago the Honda's were tough to get. When I got mine I had to settle for wheels when I wanted tracks. Maybe they don't produce a lot for North America? I hear that the Yamahas are good too, but are only sold in Canada in North America.
