So I awoke early and trudged through the snow to get the Ariens Snowblower I bought a few years back. Automatic start, sweet. Starts right up. Put it into gear, press the handle. Nada. Nothing. Wheels wont budge, locked even. Couldnt even push it. Four hours of shoveling later... Every neighbor: Hey where's your snowblower?!!! F UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Brotha green.... long ball, but did you check the emergency brake?! Also.... how many neighbors you Got? None that like him.

Just pile whole boxes like a sad 'lil building on their curb. Then a little wind comes. Hours later, when I am standing in dogshit on my lawn, I survey a street that looks like a bomb went off in a box factory. 20+g's a year in taxes for this honor. common

oof..some French woman I think was the first to have a face transplant after being mauled by a dog a few years ago. It was a success and a definite upgrade but super creepy when she spoke because her face was expressionless. As if her face had been injected with some pain killer. Kind of droopy.

Don’t buy Ariens? I got a Craftsman. Shoots snow 15’ no problem. Starts up every year no problems. Change the oil. Make sure you use Sta-bil with your gas (that’s a whole discussion unto itself). Neighbor has a Honda. Even better. Throws 25’. Starts right up. Yeah, I'll be the first to admit I bought a cheap snow-blower back in the day. Craftsman, Honda, Cub Cadet, probably all better choices. The other thing is make sure theres no snow and ice up inside there when you start her up - apparently that can fuck up your auger belt as well.

Chain or direct drive is best. Also opt for the higher horsepower model. It will pay off in spades.

What sucks is that you can go 3-4 years without needing a heavy-duty one, and then we get 2 feet plus of snow and your machine is overmatched.

I have heard bad things about 3 stage as far as maintenance. I got a new Craftsman SB470 this year and it tore right through the snow from this storm even when the snow was above the top of the snow blower.

Mine is similar, except without the fancy heated grips and headlight.
