Ariens Prosumer Two-Stage (24") 8-HP Snow Blower

My Dad had many snow blowers and problems with them until he got his first Ariens.
He has had it for 20 years doing all the sidewalks at the end of the street. First one lasted for about 20 years.
Then the neighbors all replaced it for him and the neighbors share the labor for him.
When he sold the house the snow blower was a street fixture and was sold with the house.

I waited to be able to purchase my Ariens. I am happy to say its 28 years old and I can say its treated me great, Now my neighbors have purchased Ariens and the ones that haven't well.

I told them they will be replacing them within 5 years because of problems.

Winter is here and I came across this site. Looks like great prices and options.

Buy an Ariens you will not regret spending a little extra for many years in return.

THANK YOU DAN ARIENS.

In the Meltbuddy you accomplished two things at once: 1 - you gave owners of Ariens snowblowers a practical option for their blowers to accomplish a necessary task.

As the owner of an old but faithful Ariens snowblower (I'm not even sure, but I'm betting the unit is at LEAST 20 years old) here is something I can retrofit to my unit to speed up my work.

2 - you ensured that the young men who invented the product are compensated for their great work rather than stealing their idea and claiming it for your own.

There are far too many business men today who would look to make a fast buck at someone else's expense. Your integrity in the matter reflects well on you and your company.

As a fellow resident of Wisconsin, thank you for doing the right thing the right way.

After 6 years I fried my Toro Commander single-stage snow blower. We had 2 separate snow storms come through with terrible drifting after the second snow.

In all there was 10-14 inches of snow with drifts 3-8 feet high. The single stage just couldn't take it any more - I do anywhere from 5-13 driveways and sidewalks, so the Toro has gotten a work out for the past 6 years.

I found a deal on this Ariens 824E. I took it out and hit the snow drifts and city-plowed snow - NO PROBLEMS AT ALL.

Let me rephrase that - the problem I had was getting used to the power of this 2-stage. It shot snow from my sidewalk to my house - hitting my front picture window (luckily no ice chunks shattered the glass).

Anyways, this is my first 2-stage and I assume, the last snow thrower I'll ever own.

Ariens has a great reputation and in the short time of owning and using this product I can see why.
