Of course you can't cpmpare it to todays machine,but man it works.

I think I have it 20 years.


I had one called the Arien's METRO.  I think it was 4 hp.  Could never get it to work right so I'm glad to hear that yours is effective.

Interesting 2 stage Ariens.

  I had one of these and it was stolen in an underground parking garage at an apt. building I was managing.  Still ticks me off!  It wasn't fantastic, but did a decent job.

2011 Ariens Pro 28; Toro 210R, older Powerlite and a generic single stage w/ Tec. engine.

God Bless America!

It seems well built.  It got me kinda interested for the use of composite material and mixing of 2 stage in a single stage package.  Almost picked one up just for grins.  But I decided not to until I have a organized way of keeping more than 3 snowblowers.  Unfortunately, our neighborhood doesn't allow detached outdoor storage or sheds. 



Well the little Ariens threw me a curve,it worked great,but today

I went into my garage and low and behold fuel was leaking under it.

 I wanted to shoot it!!  What a mess,I think it's coming out of the carb.

I'll have to fuss and fiddle with it when it warms up.

I don't think I get tired of looking at this snowblower.  Even though there's that new cool Yamaha that rubinew just bought, there's just something good looking about this Honda.  Clean, lean, and shiny.

Kinda like the Ducati naked bikes versus Japanese sport bikes.  Certain mechanicals are best left uncovered and unshrouded.

Kind of like an old Triumph sports car like the TR3 Great car and you really don't mind the parts falling off as you drive it.

I think the Honda has a classic design and the Yamaha has an Industrial look to it. The Yamaha looks like it will chew through a mountain and keep going. The Honda looks more like a sports car. I like the Honda but it doesn't have the Testosterone injectors that the Yamaha has.

"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."
