Compared To Other Snowblowers We Reviewed:
The Ariens Classic 920025 snow blower is an excellent pick for a reliable, sturdy, easy to control two-stage snow blower that clears 58 tons of snow per hour. The snow blower is designed to last for decades. The handlebars to the auger to the housing are made from steel.
The 11-inch serrated steel auger chops the snow and pushes it to the 12-inch three-blade impeller which is freeze-resistant. The high-speed impeller moves snow through the discharge chute at 58 tons per hour and a throwing distance of 40 feet. With 2.5x quick turn and 205 degrees rotation, the chute reacts quickly as the operator controls where and how far the chute throws the snow.
The Ariens Classic 920025 may be the smaller of the Ariens two-stage snow blowers, but the AX 208cc 4-cycle engine is powerful enough to move 20 inches tall of snow clearing a 24-inch wide path. A 120 Volt electric starting system ensures the engine starts every time and is convenient for operators who don’t have the strength to pull-start an engine. Self-propelled, the snow blower with its multiple speed settings adapts to the snow condition. The six forward and two reverse speeds steer and maneuver the snow clearing moderate or heavy snow.
Interlocking levers make it easy for one-hand operation, freeing a hand to operate the chute while in motion.
A top-loaded aluminum gear case avoids unnecessary oil leakage. Another practical benefit is the two-wheel-drive option. The snow blower comes from the manufacturer with one wheel locked to the axle Changing the axle pin lock (manual page 13) transforms the snow blower into two-wheel drive.
The Ariens Classic two-stage snow blower has a 3-year limited warranty.
Areas To Watch Out For:
- The Ariens Classic is a sturdy, durable machine without luxury features like heated handlebars and power steering.
