| Last snow blower left me stranded. |
| By Tim Sanderson (Fredonia, WI) |
In December 09 we got about 8 inches of snow overnight. I fired up the old snowblower I owned and started doing my thing. It was a 7 horse, 24" two-stage a bit over 10 years old. I picked up an extension cord with it. The cord wrapped around the auger and stopped the motor.
Not thinking anything of it I yanked out the cord and restarted it. It would move but not blow any snow. "Shear pins" I thought, but they were fine. Just then I noticed that the differential had blown up....again. I had just repaired this thing the previous year. I was just a tad angry.
So I went into the house and searched "snowblowers". How can you go wrong with a name like SnowBlowersDirect.com? (No guessing what they sell...) So I clicked on it. I did some looking and comparing the different brands on their site.
The day before at work a coworker and I were talking about the impending storm and he was telling me how much he liked his Ariens, so that's what I bought.
I ordered it on a Wednesday. I paid for the lift gate and express delivery because I still had 8 inches of snow on my driveway and it wasn't going to just go away; and shoveling a 130 yard driveway(yes that's 130 yards= 390 feet) is out of the question.
It arrived two days later, on Friday. I unboxed it, read the instructions and put it together. No big deal, really.
This is a big snowblower- it cannot be stopped. With 6 forward gears it walked through 18-24" drifts in 2nd gear. I was putting snow on my neighbors roof with this thing.
I love the chute controls, no more walking around the front or cranking the handle a couple hundred times. You aim it where you want it, it locks, and that's where the snow goes. Easy to start, easy to use, it's a great machine.
What used to take me 2+ hours now takes 45 minutes. And with the Ariens canopy I got for Christmas I'm blowing snow in my jacket and jeans, no more snow blowing back in my face. I'm completely protected from the wind, too. |

| A must-have: Cab |
| By Russ (Freetown, MA) |
I always had a cab on my older model Ariens snow blower, and the old one I had about ten years or longer; it was a bigger model.
But I couldn't get my hands on the 30-inch since they were so back ordered; I even had a very hard time getting the Deluxe 27 inch- they were back ordered too, but I finally got one,
But the place I bought the snow blower couldn't get me the Ariens genuine OEM cab. I had a small fire that melted my old cab on my older snow blower so I know what it's like with, and without the cab.
Without the cab it rots- I even had the hand warmers and was dressed for winter but still the snow blew back and I couldn't take the very cold winter winds; and I am still a young guy. But I made sure I bought the cab when I bought the snow blower.
I haven't taken it out of box yet to check it out because if I don't get any more snow it'll make it easier to store during the warm season without the cab on. Once I get the cab on, it's there for good!
I would for sure recommend the genuine Ariens snow thrower cab to any one I know without a doubt. |

| Happy Customer |
| By Gordon Price (Star Tannery, VA) |
I have a steep 425' driveway that is easy to fall on when covered with snow and ice. I felt the track model would be what I needed with sections as steep as 13 degrees.
After a recent 20" snow I found the Snow Blower to operate flawlessly and quickly.
I am totally satisfied. |

| Awesome Snow Blower |
| By JR (Freetown, MA) |
I had a 1028 Ariens (another prosumer model). It had hand warmers, a cab, and also a 28 inch plow path.
I wanted to buy a 30-inch with hand warmers since it was bigger than my old one, but no way- everyone local was all sold out and way back-ordered.
I finally got my hands on one, but I had to set it up. I put it together and it started kind of hard at first.
It turned out I had the key off, and the choke in the wrong spot... after finding that out it started right up.
I tried it out in the frozen up snow I had left over, and it did as good a job as my 28 inch ever did.
I would recommend this to anyone looking for a pro-type Ariens snow blower with a very good size plow path. |

| Give Yourself A Break |
| By Blythe (Blanchester, NY) |
It's bad enough we have to go out on a cold, snowy night and clear the driveway. My husband and I were also done with chapped lips and noses, so we decided to try adding a cab to our snow thrower.
What a difference! Honestly, everyone who gets a snow blower should treat themselves to one of these.
They attach easily and store easily. Having something that keeps the wind and wet snow out of our faces lets us stay out longer, without having to buy stock in Chap Stick.
I'm only sorry we didn't do this sooner! |

| Good Deal On a Reliable Thrower |
| By Chuck (St. Ignatius, MT) |
I ordered this Ariens 520EC from you because of your reputation as a solid internet retailer. The thrower arrived very promptly since I added priority shipment to my order, and I could not be happier.
I have quite a few acres of land and a long winding driveway, which this thing makes short work of. I strongly suggest making the extra investment with the snow cab and the clean out tool (if your model doesn't already come with this feature).
The cab keeps me warm with the strong winter wind, while the clean up tool makes short work of removing anything caught underneath in the blades (plus it keeps your hands safe!) It wouldn't hurt to have some shear pins hanging around either...
Thanks so much! |

| When the First Flakes Start Falling |
| By Jon Hoch, Founder (Bolingbrook, IL) |
Unless you live deep in the heart of Dixie, you're going to experience some snow fall this winter.
When should you expect the first flake to fall?
Surprisingly, altitude is just as important as latitude.
It historically snows in the mountains of Arizona and New Mexico before Chicago.
To estimate the first snow fall in your area, check out the map provided by NOAA.
Just make sure you order your snow blower before the white stuff arrives. :) |
