Having a gravel driveway I went ahead and bought a much older 24" 2 stage (A 1965 Ariens 10M4 ST424) as it has the skid shoes which I customized to get it to slide more easily over gravel and raised the intake to keep from pulling up loose gravel and not chew up the scraper. At 59 years it still starts up by the 2nd crank on the rope and is built like a Sherman tank. It has no electric start, but I did add LED headlights to it by powering them with a Craftsman 20v 6ah battery, which I can use on my other cordless tools when I don't need the snow thrower.

I believe the newer models have an all metal shoot now. Thanks

I disagree about the remote shoot not being worth it. Well worth it, so much easier than having to reach and bend over.

I just picked one of these up today. After purchasing the Snow-Ex plow last year, I found the 28" two stage too big and cumbersome to lug around - A trailer makes no sense when plowing, and using ramps in the snow and ice to load it was unsafe .... which meant I was shoveling the sidewalks. Not my preferred method for snow removal lol. I'm pretty sure this little unit is going to solve my problems this year. But the way my luck goes, it probably won't snow. What's the deepest snowfall you've used it on ... and what depth would you say it maxes out in??

Looks like it did very well in the plowed snow the street trucks threw on. Straighter neck helps in this conditions. More ahead and to the side. At least that's how my single stages of the past worked best in these conditions

@@ren3081 the features this ariens has are nice, but im not really gonna be moving the snowblower from location to location, just to clean my long driveway. plus Honda reliability, I have a honda generator, mower, and water pump, its nice that despite how much they get used and how old they are, they still start with 1 pull. The last thing I'd want is to be struggling with a machine during a snowstorm.

Hi, Thanks for your review! i was looking for someone that has actually used it commercially. I see you have over 12hrs at time of video. I am sure its way more now probably take me 4yrs or so to get there. I ordered a Honda HS720 but after reading further reviews and youtube vids, I cancelled order. Many people complain about the wheels, chute getting stuck with rocks and also starting issues following seasons even properly maintained...etc. Love Hondas, I have lawnmower & generators. The build on this Ariens looks amazing, fuctional and many people say the engines are great also. It seems like it has way better reviews too. So for about the same money I ordered one today cause it will probably be more expensive next year. so 2 years later how is it going with the Ariens Pro 21 blower? Take care!!
