Ariens Professional (32″) 420cc Two-Stage Snow Blower 926076

At 32 inches, model 926076 is a wide, all-steel Professional blower built with a steel frame, dash, and handlebars and a three-blade all-steel impeller to move snow across that width efficiently. The engine is Ariens' 420cc Polar Force AX unit.

Why the wide deck

This 32-inch deck covers more ground per pass than a narrower all-steel Professional model in the same engine class, at the cost of a bit more machine to swing around. Power reaches the auger through Disc-O-Matic drive, with the gears enclosed in cast iron underneath.

Handling and comfort

Auto-Turn triggerless steering offsets the extra width by letting each wheel pivot on its own. A halogen headlight covers early starts, heated handgrips help through a long session, and the chute turns on a quick-turn control, with electric start standard.

Clearance to check

A 32-inch deck needs a wider gap to pass through a side gate or along a narrow walkway than a smaller machine would, so it's worth checking that path before buying rather than after delivery. The same goes for the width of a garage bay where it will be stored between storms.

What sets this apart from a narrower all-steel Professional model? Mainly the extra clearing width; the frame, impeller, and controls follow the same design.

Tank, model, coverage? .8 gallons, model 926076, 3-year consumer warranty, new.

What colour is it? It comes in the factory orange and black finish.
