Accessories For Your Snow Blower
As the popularity of snow blowers has been growing, so has the list of "must-have" accessories. Here are a few of the more popular ones:
Covers. These are a must if you store your snow blower outdoors, and it is also nice to have when storing indoors, to keep off the summers dust and whatnot. The cost for one of these covers runs between and , depending on quality. Floor Mats. Snow and slush that gathers on your machine while using it can make a terrible mess in your garage, so if you store your unit in the garage, this is great thing to place your snow machine on. It can hold a couple quarts of water and costs about for a good quality one. Semi-attached Mitts. These are designed to fasten onto your handle grips with Velcro type fasteners, so they stay with the machine. But they do a great job of keeping your hands warm and the snow from going up your sleeves. They sell for around . Snow Thrower Cabs. I think everyone has experienced snow being blown back in our faces when using our snow machines, and it the wind is blowing hard it can be downright miserable. However, many manufacturers make attachable "cabs" that enclose the operator from the front and sides. The manufacturer's models are a little expensive, running from 0 to 0, but I have seen a universal model for most machines that sells for around . If you need a cab for your garden tractor, they are more expensive. Drift Cutters. If you ever have to attack snowdrifts higher than the opening on your snow thrower, you will come to appreciate the value of Drift Cutters. They mount on the sides of your opening, near the front and cut through the drift ahead of your machine and feed the snow back into the auger. Most manufacturers offer them for their brand of machine, but they are simple devices (a good handyman can build one at home) and you can buy a third-party brand for around . Tire Chains. Larger model snow machines require chains on the drive wheels for traction. There is no sense trying to maneuver a heavy machine around on ice and snow while the drive wheels are spinning and doing little good. These cost between and 0, depending on size of wheel and style of chain. Garden tractors require larger sizes and generally cost more. Wheel Weights. If you use your garden tractor to clear snow, you really should have wheel weights to help with traction. These normally run around 5 to 0 per set of two wheels. In the event you need to handle "serious" snow, you should also have external weights to help hold your machine in place and not ride up on hard packed snow. You will need to buy these, with mounting brackets, from your dealer. Electric Starters. Many manufacturers offer factory installed electric starters on their larger snow blowers. In my opinion this is a must--I just hate yanking on a starter cord, trying to start a reluctant gas engine in zero weather with the wind howling around me. Fortunately, there are aftermarket electric starter kits available in both 120-volt, and 6-volt systems. I wouldn't mess with a 6-volt system in cold weather, but I would definitely add on a 120-volt starter before the snow flies. These add-ons generally cost between and 0 depending on engine model. Make sure you get a complete kit, as some of the cheaper ones are not all-inclusive. Track Kits. These are kits to convert your drive wheels to a powered track (like a tank or bulldozer). Several manufacturers offer track drive models from the factory, but there are also after-market kits. If you are working steep terrain, this is a handy attachment to have. I have been told that the Ariens kit is fairly easy to install for the accomplished do-it-yourselfer. Kits run around 0. Track kits are also available for your ATV when using a snow blower, but now you are getting into some serious retrofitting.
Well, there you have some of the most popular accessories for snow blowers. There are additional features, like heated hand grips, pivoting wheels, one-hand operation, etc., but these are manufacturers features, not after-market accessories. As I run across more items, I will add them to this list.

Ariens Snowblowers - Responding to Your Every Need
Ariens snowblowers are produced by Ariens Company, a leading provider of high-quality outdoor power equipment. The company's history dates all the way back to 1933, so you know that the quality of Ariens products is backed by years and years of expertise and knowledge. They manufacture two main product categories, namely lawn equipments and snow equipments. Snow equipments are broken down into seven main product lines, which include the Pro-Track series, the Professional series, the Deluxe-Track series, the Deluxe series, the Compact series, the Single-Stage series, and the exclusive Power Brush series.
The Compact series are great for home users who need smaller blowers for light snow especially because these are easy to use and to store. The Power Brush series includes snow machines powered by the large power brushes that are made to clear heavy and deep snow. The lineup of snow machines offered is quite extensive that any type of consumer can find what he is looking for. Aside from that, some of the blowers are targeted to industrial uses.
Single Stage Blowers from Ariens
Single-stage blowers are machines built for light to moderate snow coverage. These are smaller and easier to operate and to store. If you do not face heavy snow, buying two-stage models is completely unnecessary and would just be an additional hassle for you. A single-stage snow blower will definitely do. There are two great units from Ariens that you can consider if you are after single-stage snow blowers. First, there's the 5-HP Single-Stage Electric Blower with an electric start for easy and safe operation even when clearing snow in the dark.
The machine has a 22-inch clearing width and can be bought at around 9, which is not a bad price at all. In fact, compared to other products from other popular winter equipment brands, this price is already affordable enough given the promised quality and guarantee of an Ariens machine. If you need something a bit more powerful, you can check out the 7-HP model of the same type of snow blower from Ariens. It also has an electric start and a 22-inch clearing width. The price is higher at around 9.
Two Stage Snow blowers from Ariens
If you think a single-stage snow blower won't do the trick considering the level and extent of your snow coverage, you should check out the two-stage snow blowers offered by the brand. They offer the Consumer Two-Stage model for consumer use. This model has a 6-HP engine and a 24-inch clearing width. Reviews award this model as a fast worker and give it 5 stars. The all-metal body promises durability even in harsh snow conditions. It also has pin lock wheels, a stable gear-driven chute, and an adjustable throwing direction. Ordering parts for this model is also easy, thanks to the company's website. All in all, for 9, this machine is pretty much a worthy buy.
If your need is lighter and less large-scale, however, you can check out the Two-Stage Snow blower Cab from the Ariens Deluxe series, which is priced at only 9.99. But if you want an extremely powerful worker for heavy needs, you should check out the 9.5-HP Blower from the Professional series. This two-stage snow blower has a 26-inch clearing width and comes with tracks for improved traction and clearing power. The machine, however, is a bit expensive at ,399. The 9526DLET model, however, comes with other great features such as a high-speed 14-inch impeller, serrated augers, a steel THF chute, automatic traction control, and a dual-handle interlock system. Even at its price, it is a reasonable buy for people with large-scale snow clearing needs.
Pros: Great features, wide variety of models, quality and durability.
Cons: Some of the bigger models are quite expensive.
The Verdict:
Ariens is one of the most trustworthy brands when it comes to snow blowers. They offer various models for various needs, but whatever model you avail of, you can trust in the quality of Ariens snow blowers.
