Ariens Snow Blower in Wet Heavy Snow @AriensChannel

Snow Blower Wet Heavy Snow
@AriensChannel

A snow blower is a powerful machine designed to help remove snow and ice from driveways, sidewalks, and other outdoor areas. When it comes to dealing with wet and heavy snow, having the right snow blower can make all the difference.

The best snow blower for wet snow is one that is specifically designed to handle the extra weight and moisture of the snow. Ariens snow blowers are perfect for this job! These snow blowers typically have wider augers and impellers to help move the snow through the machine and prevent clogs or jams.

Overall, a snow blower can be a valuable tool for snow removal, especially in heavy and wet snow conditions. With the right machine and some basic knowledge of how to use it properly, you can keep your driveway and sidewalks clear and safe during the winter months.

Work Smarter Not from the center out....Your Welcome.

When the snow is that wet and heavy, just clear half the width of the auger. The machine will not bog down like in this video. I bought my 8 hp Ariens new in 1978 and it’s still going strong here in New England.

I spray the chute, auger and impeller with a silicone based lubricant. A bit easier when going up against heavy/wet snow.

That little compact is a straight up trooper.

This video sold me on the Honda. Thanks for posting.

When we have piles at the end of the driveway, we go down the driveway and snowblow across the end with the auger throwing forward. Works for me

Im from Mn and I remember this snowfall, my snow blower was unable to clear it and got clogged up pretty quickly.The blade ended up bending and decided to retire it instead of repairing it. I just bought an Ariens, excited try it out this year.

In western New York (near Buffalo) we call that a trace or a dusting of snow.

TIP!!! - Clear that portion on the street to the left of your driveway to prevent the snowplow from blocking your driveway again. We cleared the snow out and were never blocked in. If the plow didn't pass, we cleared most of the road in front of our house.

I have the ariens rapid track it does a good job in all kinds of snow

Привет!! Я заметил, что высота сугробов снега по разным сторонам Вашей территории разная. С одной стороны высокая, с другой ниже. Я хотел бы посоветовать Вам начинать чистить мокрый тяжелый, а также легкий и сухой снег на Вашей территории с середины. То есть первый проход снегоуборщиком нужно делать посередине Вашей территории. Все последующие проходы снегоуборщиком вокруг первой сделанной полосы. Так как снег мокрый и тяжелый, то он будет равномерно отбрасываться снегоуборщиком в разные стороны, причем, чем ближе Вы будете подходить снегоуборщиком к краям, тем дальше он будет отбрасывать снег. Если зима окажется очень снежной, то сугробы по краям, при такой уборке снега, будут ниже. Удачи!!

Hey Ricky...winter Texans down here say snow blowing is not easy..I tell them you don't know my friend Ricky he's an expert!! 😊✌️

On my Ariens 824 I put rubber extensions on the paddles and a 4" dia. PVC tube 20" long with 20 Lbs. of sand in it mounted on top of the auger housing with 4" dia. muffler clamps and it performs MUCH better in heavy wet snow now. Mine has much more aggressive tires than on the blower in your video and does fairly well as far as traction but depending on how it does this coming week during the predicted "Snowmageddon" we're supposed to get I may still put chains on it and fill the tires with RV antifreeze for more weight.

Couple tips... Just go slower and you can stand there holding the handle. No pushing and riding up. Everybody pushes because they want ro be done fast but you just have to do a 2nd pass because it rides up and leaves some below. Although when im getting cold foing that warms me right up again. 😊

I believe there is a spring to adjust the friction on your chute controls. It may need to be tightened as I see the chute moving around under load.
Also, check your tire pressure, it may be a bit high. You get better grip with lower pressure.
I can't remember what I set mine at, I think around 8 PSI.
I thought the machine was struggling a bit, but I didn't realize it was the Compact model.
I have a Compact 22, and while it is nice and small, a big part of the price you pay is an undersized auger that makes it harder for the machine to chew through wet snow.

Classic or delux modèl... how many cc...thnx

[jonmyers]

These are great machines. Their only weakness is needing the ballast weight on the front for more down pressure when going through the heavy stuff at the end of the driveway. Kills my back and arms fighting it.

[swaggerjacker]

To have a driveway and be able to do this, I’m jealous. I know it sounds stupid but I like to snowblow. My driveway is so small, takes maybe 5 minutes and I’m done. My Troy Bilt still looks brand new after 5 years old

[tubingpro]

Start in the middle work your way out on each side

[MarkJacksonGaming]

-- A need to know for me; about to purchase a new blower. What CC and Brand is the engine on your blower? Those two things would very much help me out with up to a 2k purchase. In return, heh, thumbs up.
