I'm the second owner of a 25yo 2-stage Ariens that keeps plugging along. It's one of those that you need to lean down by the engine to engage the trans. & augers. And if the transmission is engaged the augers are turning, whether you squeeze the clutch to move or not. None of that namby pamby moving the snowblower safely for me!
