Back when we were kids, we were the snow throwers – shoveling our parent’s and neighbor’s driveways for spending money. Now, we’re more likely to throw out our backs before throwing the snow. Shoveling is a grueling chore for high school kids and professional athletes. If you don’t know either, it’s time to get a Ariens snow blower.
Ariens Snow Blowers are known throughout the industry as one of the top-of the line snow blowers for professional and consumer use. Ariens snow blowers are mainly the two-stage type of blowers, and are used mainly for heavier snow removals and can be used on all types of surfaces (either paved or gravel). Their products also are typically on the high-end of the price scale, ranging from $800 up to almost $3000. They also vary by grade (consumer or professional ), clearing width and intake height.
When deciding on the right Ariens snow blower, you should estimate your snow-removal needs, and whether you will be needing it for a residential job or a more professional (i.e: commercial property) job. Even if you are a professional, you can go with a true professional model or a prosumer model, which is more powerful than a consumer Ariens snow blower, but is less expensive without some of the bells and whistles and not as much power. This maybe ideal if you are just starting your snow removal business. You should also decide on the right snow blower based on the high side as far as size and power because smaller snow blowers can labor in heavy snowfalls or wet snow. No matter which type of snow blower you are looking for, there is one to fit your exact specifications and price range to make snow removal a much easier task of the winter season.
There are certain features you should look for when deciding which Ariens snow blower is right for you. Features to look for include types of speeds, lighting for nighttime usage, hand warmers, and how the snow blower is made, ideally made of steel, as opposed to aluminum or plastic.
Two stage snow blowers (wheels) are powered by gasoline and comes with a wheel that helps with automatic traction control. This type of snow blower also comes with an automotive-style key start with battery. Another great feature is a hand warmer that keeps your hands nice and toasty while you work as well as a halogen light to enable you to work no matter when the snow falls.
Two-stage snow blowers (tracks) are also powered by gasoline. They also have powerful engines that make the heaviest snow easy to clear. Most are made of color coated steel, so it will last for years, unlike plastic or aluminum. Also, many two-stage snow blowers with tracks have multiple reverse speeds, so you can easily maneuver around the largest amounts of snow. This type of Ariens snow blower also comes with a headlight so you can clear snow once the sun goes down as well (very handy for the long winter nights).
