Fun with my Ariens 1336 DLE
Original Message Jan 9, 2011 4:02 pm

2005 Ariens 1336DLE. Still happy after 5 years.

Feb 2010 Noreaster. This was 2 1/2 feet of wet heavy snow. Hardest workout ever for my machine. EOD was 4-5 feet. Neighbor's 9.5HP Toro couldnt get through it. This was the closest to wanting treads instead of wheels I ever came.

December 2010 Noreaster. About 2 feet.

Nice clean paths. Your taking less than half a cut with that big bucket and still dribbling a slight line to your left. You could probably move and not have problems given the cut. Many would take a full cut and complain about first being too slow. Looks like clean cuts shaved very close, especially the path in the first picture.

I've noticed that with certain snow my Toro will do the same thing. I'm not sure why. I do take bigger bites with it but it does dribble like that. I wonder why?

"If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car, you live in New England." "If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you live in New England."

You need a hair less speed or a few inches less of a cut. If already in first then less cut or a friction disk adjust.

Nah, no need for plow. With such beautiful snow, I'd take my time clearing it with a snowblower. No plow can make straight wall of snow like that.

I doubt it unless his Ariens is a real gas hog. My Toro can run almost 3 hours before needing gas and I'm running it full throttle. I have a 220 foot long driveway like 16-18 feet wide and the EOD is at least 30 feet. I have to measure the EOD. Then I have a section where my wife parkes which is like 40'x40'. I really need to measure that as well. It's all surrounded by rock walls. Now maybe with 24" of snow it might use a full tank of gas. I hope to find out about that this winter as we never got more than 12" last year.
