Off-season use for your snow blower! Original Message Jul 26, 2011 11:26 am
I'm sure you all are equally creative when it comes to maximizing you OPE investments, but here's one I haven't seen yet. He uses this to move his trailer around (no info on what kind of trailer), it's a 10 horse tractor section from an un-named machine.

That's certainly creative. My first Ariens Sno-Thro was designed to be a multi-function machine. It was a ST504 and one could swap out the snow thrower and attach a roto-tiller or a lawnmower unit in place of the blower. I thought it was an interesting concept but I never bought any of those attachments for it. The advantage is that you only have to maintain one engine but the dis-advantage is that multiple pieces of equipment were dependent on that one engine running properly.

I'd love to get some attachments for the Ariens. Could always keep 2 engines running, that way you have a backup and can have 2 attachments ready to do. Alternate between then and use them just enough to keep them both running.
