Looks like a nice unit, but the description said it’s ideal for a 6” snowfall. I was clearing a 12” dump. Have you used it to clear 12” or more?
Actually they indicate that’s for 6” or more, it has a 21”+ clearance height, though with the way I get drifts I’ve powered through 4’ drifts with relative ease. Does pretty good on lesser amounts too.

Me too, but while there i had a Craftsman 24" 2 stage 6 horse with chains, and nothing would stop it, sold it to a nephew and he still runs it, that was 25 years ago.

Bill, I have an Ariens 24" that has excellent traction. I do find when it hits hard compacted snow, I have to shift to low gear and go slow. It works like a charm. Once past the hard snow, I shift back into rabbit speed and away I go. I hope this helps. Also, if the tires are a bit worn, you might try chains.

Mine came with the heated grips. I have the 10hp and it does a great job. I have used the heated grips a couple of times when it was real cold. They may be a bit extravagant but I like to treat myself once in a while.
