In addition, snow blowers are versatile and can be used on both sidewalks and driveways. As a result, they are an invaluable tool for anyone who lives in a climate where snow is common. So if you are tired of shoveling snow by hand, consider investing in an Ariens snow blower.
How Do Snow Blowers Operate?
Snow blowers are essential tools for clearing snow from driveways and walkways. But how do they work? Most snow blowers have two augers, or rotating blades, that gather the snow and direct it into a discharge chute. An electric motor powers the augers or a gasoline engine. As the augers rotate, they pull the snow into the machine. The snow then passes through an impeller, or a series of blades, that throw the snow out of the discharge chute. Snow blowers come in different sizes and styles, but they all operate on the same basic principle. With a little practice, anyone can learn to use a snow blower to keep their property clear all winter long.
5 Things to Consider When Purchasing a Snow Blower
When it comes to winter weather, there is no such thing as being too prepared. One of the best ways to ensure that you are ready for whatever Mother Nature has in store is to invest in a snow blower. But with so many models on the market, it can be tough to know which one is right for the space you need to keep clear and safe this winter.
- The Ariens 32″ Professional Grade snow blower is perfect for those with large driveways or yards. The AX 420cc engine is easy to operate, and it can move a lot of snow- 91 tons per hour, to be exact! The auger housing is also 32″, making quick work of any accumulation. Some other features include an LED headlight, hand warmers, remote deflector, and commercial-grade skid shoes.
- For medium-sized properties, the Ariens Deluxe 28″ and 30″ models offer premium features on a snow blower that tackles the big jobs, but is still easy to maneuver and easy on the budget. Both models feature Auto-Turn and electric starting, as well as an LED headlight. The 30″ moves 71 tons of snow per hour, and will throw the snow up to 50′ away, and has heated hand grips. The 28″ will remove 65 tons of snow per hour.
- If you like a smaller machine, but still need the high output, consider Ariens Platinum Series. The dimensions of these models are comparable to the Deluxe line, with Super High Output impellers that can toss up to 83 tons of snow per hour as far as 55 feet. Furthermore, cast-iron gear cases generate a favorable auger ratio compared to other brands in the industry and also require less maintenance–allowing Ariens 5-year warranty, one of the longest periods offered by any company. Heated hand grips reduce freezing and discomfort for users, so they have more control during longer operating sessions.
- If you’re only looking to clear a small area like a sidewalk or short driveway, the Path Pro 21 is your best bet. It can throw 57 tons of snow per hour and clean it down to the pavement. Plus, it offers electric and recoil starting options, and has a folding handle for easy storage.
- If you live in an area that receives above average snow fall, and you have to deal with high snow piles or hilly terrain, the Ariens track snow blower offers substantial traction under almost any conditions. These models are available in 24″, 28″ and 32″, moving up to 90 tons of snow an hour.
