  I have the same snowblower, but I haven't used it in two winters, because it refuses to snow enough for it in Chicago. And they're predicting an very mild winter for 2024 here, so I probably won't need it this time either.

  I absolutely hate my Ariens snowblower. I was told when buying it, "it was sooo easy to turn, you can turn it with 1 finger". Yeah right! By the time I'm about 10 minutes into snowblowing my elbows, shoulders, and wrists are killing me from monuvering this thing. And it won't go in a straight line I'm continuously having to correct the direction. By the time I'm done it looks like a friggin drunk did it. I hate it so bad, I'm getting pissed off just thinking about using it.

  thanks for this.... I'm new to snowy climates... moved from Arizona to Idaho. I have a very long gravel drive... and have been concerned about my decision to go with a walk behind.... vs paying a snow removal service. planning to buy this week. This is reassuring. How long is your drive? (mine is approx. 300 meters) How long does it take you? - Also... funny... my mom lives on Van Island.

  Our drive is about 900 feet. Just a little shorter than yours. The biggest issue after 3 seasons is wear & tear from the gravel. Even with the shoes on the highest adjustment It will pick up some. I walk around and remove as many bigger (larger than 1 inch) stones as I can. But even small ones can jamb the auger and break a shear pin. Still glad I bought it. It has made a HUGE difference to our access. The difference was taking four hours to shovela walking access to between 1/2 hour to one hour (in 2 foot snow) being able to drive th vehicles to the house instead of being parked on the road.

• 
  @TheAussieincalgary10 ай бұрын

  I had originally though the bigger one would be better, and I suspect it may have been OK. However, even the 24 inch builds up if I run it in mid range speeds because of our wet heavy snow on Vncouver Island. Whereas, if we were still in Calgary with the dry snow the 28 would have been perfect. At the end of the day, with all the shortages (none available at all the previous season) this was the one available. Pretty happy with it. Learnt very quickly that the shoes need to be adjusted out all the way on gravel

  I’m building my Champion generator shed enclosure. I used exact aluminum exhaust tubing for dryer but worrying it might melt or would not last when running longer hours. Good to see your video.. It might work. How’s yours working so far?

• 
  @TheAussieincalgary11 ай бұрын

  The exhaust was the thing that took the most time to sort out and I experimented with a few different ideas. This tubing was the best out of the things I tried. I have it inside the other metal pipe as I too thought heat may have been an issue but it is working great. I can't believe the difference in sound by crunching the tube so it's like muffler baffles but doesn't restrict flow. I had seen people using cement board where the pipe goes out the plastic wall. I used the aluminized tape for ducting and have seen no warpage of the plastic. Thanks for watching and the comment. Good luck with yours.

Was looking at the 2220 Kioti, not much more money and has 1,000lb lift and slightly longer machine. Kubota is even more money but only has the lift capacity of the emax20. Was seriously considering the emax22 because it has lower center of gravity, wider, more lift, good ground clearance, but there is less room on the workstation and seat room than the emax20. I am NOT a small guy and my size 12 workboots get snagged under the pedals JD is more money, and the closest dealer is over an hour away. The emax20 is probably the best choice for landscaping, driveway grading, rocks, firewood, dirt, gravel etc..... or the Kioti if the deal is right.

Did try it out on our recent snowfall of about 8 inches...... the gravel is NOT a snowblowers friend..... broke a few shear pins....then a couple more. More than a few scratches lol. Found the steering does tend to wander and also found the shoes tend to dig in due to the open front of the shoe. Bought some nylon shoes that are nearly twice as long. Machine steered straight with the nylon shoes, but they are universal fit and the resr cam shaped adaptor keeps shifting, so they need work. May weld longer skids to the original shoes.

Refering to being able to operate the machine with one hand and found the auto steering responded naturally to my gentle guide, it is also well balanced (I am driving it with the skids off the ground and still felt good) makes the machine fairly light to manouver. This was the first time I had engaged 6th gear, good walking speed for me.

  Theoretically... But too many risks. Even if you put grease on the drill bit and the tap, you could still get swarf (metal) inside. You may also nick components, there is very little clearance inside. Where I drilled and tapped are depressions on the inner side of the case, Made it easy to do. In the video I called the bolts, drain plugs, but they are actually Nissan torque converter bolts. Any short bolt with a broad head will do and use copper or aluminum drain plug washers. Nylon washers collapse over time, allowing the plug to come loose (same goes for your car, tell your service guys not to use nylon washers)

  Unfortunately you can't fully drain the fluid. However, if you removed the battery, fan, pulley then the fill plug (the plug sticks in pretty tight and hard to get a screw driver under to knock it out) you could suck out a good portion of the oil just not all of it. You couId use a large syringe and plastic tubing, it would be slow but doable. For this reason most people opt to remove the trans and tip the unit upside down. I did the drain plugs because for me as a mechanic it was an easy job, I have the tools and easy access to components, plus I no longer have to remove the trans to drain it.
