First decent snowfall to try my 11528le
Original Message   Feb 15, 2006 4:14 pm
Finally got some decent snow to try my 11528 Ariens.

This new unit works awesome, good distance, throws alot of snow. 

Over all I'm very pleased!

Gee....I knew you'd be pleased, and I'm glad for you...but no story? no details?....no pics? This is sorta like saying...."Honey-I stopped at the stop sign on my way home and the brakes worked well".

Please post a review of your machine.

GEEE  Sorry!!

I would post pics but I don't own a digital cam.

We got about 8 inches of heavy drifted snow here in northern NB.  The blower started on the second pull and I started to blow. I couldn't believe how far the snow was being thrown, especially since it was quite heavy , at least 40 to 50 feet.  As I neared the EOD i wondered how good the blower would perform but it surprised me again and launched the wet stuff a good 40 feet.

The remote chute as I've said before is awesome, even my neighbor who owns a honda marvelled at how quicky I could divert snow with it.  The diff lock kept locking back up on it's own after I would unlock it. I contacted my OPE dealer and he came later in the day and adjusted it in my garage (go figure!) .  I changed the break in oil after I was done my driveway then  I blew two more driveways in my neighborhood for those who's machines had quit on them. My machine worked flawlessly!

I am very happy and now I can say I understand why Ariens owners are excited about their machines.

Rob,

Congrat's on your Ariens blower!

Your OPE dealer doing a house call was sweet too!

Isn't it nice when things get taken care of like that.

Regards, John
