Ariens 722
Original Message Jan 18, 2009 2:08 pm

Does anyone have any feedback or experience with the Ariens 722 single stage snow blower? Not so much how it compares to a 2 stage snow blower but mainly how it compares to other single stage machines. Also snows that it handles best and snows that push it's limits. Thanks.

what exact prices are you seeing? as a reference i bought 2 used ones for 100-140 each. basically all that was needed were new paddles and a carb clean. the cheaper one did require some work to the housing but nothing too costly. when you are looking at them be sure to check out the belt housing cover at the bottom. most are worn and allow snow to get in the belt area that in turn creates slippage. you can do a diy fix or just buy the new part for around 25 bucks.

I saw a CCR1000 used for $220 and a CCR2000 for $400. Both of these have new paddles and scraper bar. The carb is also cleaned. The prices are still high though.

where abouts are you located? that does sound high unless they are in good shape (i.e. housing) with new paddles.
