Powerful 306cc Ariens AX Gas Engine

The Ariens Deluxe 28 SHO is equipped with a 306cc Ariens AX four-stroke gasoline engine specifically designed for demanding winter applications.

Generating 15 ft-lbs of torque, the engine provides the power necessary to operate the snow blower’s large serrated augers and high-output impeller efficiently.

The engine features a 120V electric starting system for convenient operation in cold weather, along with a manual recoil starter for backup starting capability.

Designed for dependable seasonal performance, the Ariens AX engine delivers consistent power during extended snow-clearing sessions.

Advanced Two-Stage Snow Removal System

The Deluxe 28 SHO uses a heavy-duty two-stage snow removal system engineered for effective clearing of heavy, packed, and accumulated snow.

During operation, the 14-inch serrated steel augers break up snow and feed it into the high-speed impeller. The 14-inch Super High Output impeller then propels the snow through the discharge chute.

With a 28-inch clearing width and 21-inch housing height, the machine can handle substantial snow accumulation while reducing the number of passes required to clear larger areas.

Under optimal conditions, the snow blower is rated to process approximately 72 tons of snow per hour.

Super High Output Snow Discharge

The SHO system incorporates a high-performance, three-blade steel impeller designed to increase snow discharge efficiency.

Its 14-inch impeller spins at high speed to propel collected snow through the adjustable steel discharge chute.

The system offers a rated throwing distance of up to 55 feet, depending on snow density, engine operating conditions, and environmental factors.

The 200-degree rotating chute and remotely adjustable deflector allow operators to control where snow is deposited.

Auto-Turn Steering Technology

Ariens Auto-Turn steering technology enhances maneuverability by automatically responding when the operator turns the snow blower.

This system reduces steering effort and allows smoother directional changes without requiring manual wheel-lock adjustments.

Combined with the self-propelled drive system, Auto-Turn technology makes the machine easier to control around driveways, walkways, parked vehicles, and other obstacles.

Self-Propelled Disc-O-Matic Drive System

The Ariens Deluxe 28 SHO features the Disc-O-Matic drive system with six forward and two reverse speed settings.

Operators can select an appropriate travel speed according to snow depth, ground conditions, and personal preference.

Lower speeds provide additional control when clearing heavy snow, while higher speeds are suitable for lighter accumulations and larger open surfaces.

Its 16-inch directional snow-tread tires enhance traction and stability across winter surfaces.

Heavy-Duty All-Steel Construction

Built for demanding winter conditions, the Deluxe 28 SHO features a durable steel housing, reinforced components, and a heavy-duty cast-iron auger gear case.

The 14-gauge steel housing provides structural strength, while the adjustable steel scraper and reversible skid shoes help maintain proper clearance over different surfaces.

The dual-belt auger drive is engineered to transfer engine power efficiently while supporting reliable operation.
