Q: Do I have to buy the Pro model in the Ariens line to get the auto traction assist (diferential lock)? Thanks...
by Dave from Massachusetts on September 21, 2011

A: Dave,

You would not have to purchase correct a Pro model from Ariens. You also have this option in the Ariens Platinum Deluxe models as well.

Snow Blowers Direct Recommended
Kriss's Recommendation

The Ariens ST28DLE Pro two-stage snow blower is ideal for heavy residential or commercial use. This model is capable of clearing an area of up to 2,000 sq ft in under an hour and can easily handle snowfall totals of 12" or more.

The Ariens ST28DLE is powered by a 420cc Ariens Polar Force engine (made by Briggs & Stratton). Fire this machine up in just a few seconds using the 120-volt electric start system. The large 5.9 quart fuel tank will give you close to 90 minutes of operating time before needing to refuel.

The Ariens ST28DLE will throw snow up to 50 feet, and the Quick-Turn remote chute control with remote deflector will let you drop the blown snow exactly where you want it so it's well out of the way. The commercial-grade cast iron gear case helps transfer more of the engine's power to the auger and the impeller so you'll be able to move even the wettest, heaviest kind of snow with ease.

The Ariens ST28DLE is more powerful than the worst winter storm, and is durable, dependable and engineered to deliver unrivaled performance.

Blizzard 2013

I bought this last year, 2012, and never really got to use it.

But, this year we got pounded in MA and the Ariens performed extremely well. So, I did my driveway, 3 neighbors' driveways and a sidewalk with almost 30" of snow (and drifts up to 40") in about 2 hours.

The hand warmers are great. You can't go wrong with this model!

Didn't Last One Storm

Bought new in Nov 2011. Assembled and filled with fresh, high octane, stabilized gas. Started it up and it seems to run ok. Never got a chance to use it that winter because we didn't get any snow. In march 2012, I ran it dry and put it in storage for the summer. In December 2012, took it out of storage and filled it with fresh, high octane, stabilized gas. Started it up and it ran a bit rough. It ran fine for the first 30 minutes of its first storm a few weeks later and then started to die under load. It wouldn't run without the choke on. I removed the gas and replaced it with fresh, ... more

Ariens 28" Professional

Thank you for delivery of my new Ariens Professional 28" snow blower. It arrived in a timely manner during heavy snowfall of upstate NY. This model was a great choice motoring through heavy snow from county plows without a hitch. The only problem we had was no manual came with the machine. You were kind enough to Fed Ex one!

I did manage to download a similar manual so I could assemble and adjust the chute. This was a very important thing for the factory to leave out, I haven't heard from them after sending a note with warranty card.

The Beast

I purchased the Ariens Professional ST28DLE (28") 420cc Two-Stage Snow Blower in Aug of 2012. I took advantage of the discounts. I had a Track MTD for 20 years and work well but slow. I just figured it was time to upgrade.

I did a lot research and settled on Ariens Professional ST28DLE (28") 420cc. I am so glad I did because the Ariens machine is a 10 times better machine than what I had before.

It is December now of 2012 and we have had 15 inches of snow one weekend, and about 7 inches the next in Minnesota. It was that heavy wet snow with rain and ice. This machine had no t... more

Powerful Blower For Deep And Heavy Snow

I ran a Snapper 8HP for 16 years on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe. A basic, durable, reliable machine that was used heavily until it basically wore out.

I decided to up the horsepower and purchased the 28" 420cc Ariens Pro Model. The machine has exceptional power. Our snowfalls are measured in feet, not inches, of heavy, dense, often wet snow. With even the most powerful motors, 1/3 and 1/2 box wide passes at the lowest forward speed is required to maintain engine RPM's.

Often snow in my driveway and street is over 4 feet deep, with a grader deposited berm from hell. More power mea... more

The snow blower was ordered on Friday and delivered on Tuesday. It is as described. The truck driver put it in the driveway where I wanted it.

No damage to the machine. I am very happy with my purchase.

" Old In Minnesota "

This is the second Ariens snow thrower I've owned. I had the first one for 31 years and it is still earning its keep as a hand me down. I found myself needing a snow blower that would throw snow further than the old one as my driveway changed from 900 sq feet to 6000 sq feet. When I started looking for a new blower I checked out products from several manufactures, Cub, Toro, MTD, Husqvarna and Ariens. The Ariens is a great blend of function, features and POWER. I also found the metal housings to be much more ridged than the others.

I went with the Pro 28 because I wanted a machine tha... more

Powerful

The Ariens Snowblower is absolutely incredible with power to spare and clears 10" inches of snow in my 2500 sq. foot paved driveway in one hour flat. The only problem was during shipping this heavy machine, it had damage which I could not tell right upon inspection off the truck however ten days later when I finally got to assembling it I noticed then the muffler was caved down, the mufflers cover and choke switch was broken. So right then and there I called Snow Blowers Direct, had explained it all but they did not want to know nothing about it. They said I should of saw it when I insp... more

Great Customer Service

I received my Ariens Professional ST28DLE just before the really big snow storm. Unfortunately, it came without a snow chute so it had to sit out the big storm in the garage. Snow Blowers Direct has really good customer service and they were able to ship out a chute in just a couple of days. I was able to use the new machine a couple of times on lesser snows and it works GREAT! I'm sure there was huge demand for snow blowers last winter and it was really obvious to me that this company is very serious about making sure their customers feel like they receive value for their purchase dollars... more

My New Snowblower

After this last winter with a sears 6 hp snow blower and a snow plow, I purchased an Ariens Pro ST28DLE 420cc. This machine is a monster. I don't care when it snows I know this machine will do the job. It was also a pleasure working with Snow Blowers Direct they delivered three weeks ahead of time.

Thrilled

Living in the northeast, the winters can bring a lot of snow and this year was no different. My old blower gave out during the first snow storm, in early January, and service wasn't available for at least one month. I have a big driveway and wasn't taking any chances during that time.

I found your site and bought a commercial grade blower which was delivered one week earlier then expected. As luck would have it, the next snow storm arrived two days later. The beast I bought handled the 20+ inch snowfall in a quarter of the time the old one did.

I am completely satisfied with my purchas... more

Mr. Stanley T Gaj

For the last 20 years or so an Ariens Snow Blower has taken care of all of my snow removal needs. This year, New England dumped the largest amount of snow in many years in New England and my old machine tried its hardest to keep up but finally broke down under the massive snow load.

A quick call to my local dealer sent the unit in to be repaired and resulted in the unpleasant news that the machine was so old that many of the key parts were no longer available. This was not a big surprise as the machine had given many years of faithful service. I asked my local dealer to supply a new ma... more

I am relieved to now have an excellent machine to clear my property. During the most recent storm in our area I used my Ariens and it made short work of the nearly 24" of snow. I am very happy to have this machine.

Best Purchase I've Made In Years

This is a great machine. Starts on the 1st or 2nd pull and goes through snow easily and quickly. I've usually been able to do my 400+ ft driveway in 20-30 minutes. Last week's storm dumped 12+ inches and I was able to get down to the pavement after a few passes. Does a much better job than the plow guy and I don't have to wait all day for the driveway to get done. So glad I spent extra for the commercial grade model. My only criticism is that the setup directions should contain better photos. 90 minute setup would have taken 30 minutes if photos showed proper detail.

Let The Snow Begin.

Just got through putting another coat of wax on my new ST28DLE. Can't wait for the next snowstrom. I take care of 3 other driveways beside my own. We are getting a lot more snow than usual. Snow is piling up, so I'm sure that higher snow chute will be a good addition. Thanks again for all your information. Having fun blowing snow in western Minnesota (Gaylord,Minn).

Blows Everything Away ---------

To start off, this is my 3rd snowblower. My first one is an electric Black and Decker - used it for one season and gave it away. Then I got a 24" 5.5hp 2 stage from Sears 5 years ago (about $600). It works fine, only problem is with wet snow, always got jammed and stuck. Both blowers are for use at my house. So, I am not a newb. Now I have a small office building myself. I need something powerful enough to clean my 14 cars packing lot, darn long driveway and sidewalk.

Takes A Licken And Keeps On Ticken

I bought mine brand new approximately 2004 and run it harder than average. The second year I picked up a very large rock and got it stuck in the impeller and bent the heck out of it. I tore it all apart and was able to straighten impeller and impeller shaft back to specs. I was able to do whole job without purchasing one single item, I would like to see any other snowblower that could take that kind of punishment.

Snow blower preformed very good, started very well. Handled extremely good on 10 inches of snow, as you probably read in the Chicago paper, Northern In. received a tremendous amont of snow this past week.

Had a small problem hooking the chutes up but finally figured it all out. The instructions are really written poorly for installation of cable hook up.

Test Drive Of New Ariens

The first test of this machine came a few days ago when a storm deposited 9 inches of snow on this area. I was at work that night so when I arrived home that morning the snow plows had added a lot more to my driveway for me to clear.

15 minutes later my double wide fifty foot driveway was clear of snow and I hadn't even broken a sweat. Since it was my first time operating the machine it took me a few minutes to get the hang of using the controls (drive, blow, chute direction, etc.).

Since then my Ariens has been nothing but a dream. It usually starts on the first pull of the cord ... more

Snow Blower Heaven

After the winter we had 2 years ago and the prediction of the same winter this year I decided to get a bigger, badder snow blower. I have learned from past mistakes to not buy "cheap" but to buy quality. After about a month of research I decided on a model from Ariens.

I currently had a two-stage 4 hp - 20" Toro that was a nightmare on wheels. Lack of power and reliability were a problem. I wanted more power, a little wider swath and more reliability. I decided on the PRO 28 (28" -342 cc motor.) I need no bigger than 28" because it had to fit through a small gate. ... more

Hard To Teach An Old Dog New Tricks

I have spent 35 years with a big John Deere two-stage and compared to this Ariens the Deere is one heck of a lot easier to run.

The forwarf handle on the Ariens sticks up in the air too far to be able to maneuver in tight quarters. The gear shift has all those notches and detents, where the Deere was all a straight line.

There is also no reason to have two reverse speeds. On the old Deere when you engaged the auger it stayed engaged; on the Ariens it pops out when the other lever is let up.

That side to side chute lever on the Ariens leaves something to desire. Having two levers on a ... more

Do Your Homework!

For thirty years, I either shoveled to keep in shape or used a snow thrower to assist. When I bought my house in 2007 I realized shoveling a 175' driveway was not going to have much appeal.

I did my homework and found that Ariens model 926038 could handle anything Mother Nature throws at us. Now, I do my driveway and the sidewalks in less than 20 minutes with ease.

This machine by far is the machine for a homeowner due to its durability and relentless power. I pull to start and not once have I pulled more than twice to start in the three years I've owned this "Bear". It's sta... more
