What type of backhoe is that?

Yea I was waiting to hear your opinion. Someday, someone is going to figure out how to modify a compact so you can turn around to operate a rear mounted snow blower while sitting straight. Kind of like the Versatile farm tractor. That is where the weight should be, on the rear axle not the steering. Kind of like the Farmhand F10 loader I built back in the late '70's.

You can tell by the sound that the Ford tractor is solidly built.

You didn’t really compare, you just showed both machines working. Which one did you like the best? Why? To me, looks like the rear blower on the Ford was wider, but constantly turning around would get tiresome and it didn’t look like it got down to the ground as much as the Ariens. Thoughts?

The best way to fill the transmission is to pull the four bolts holding the whole seat shroud, then pull the two bolts to hold the gas tank turn the gas tank sideways and you can get right to the fill port.

Ariens HT-16 with the 40" snow blower is the best toughest tractor ever. Been running ours very hard for 5 years now. Mows all summer, pulling the 3x5 trailer excellent, and snowblows all winter and I have a large driveway with a 300ft long run straight run off our road to get up to the parking area. Snowblower throws easy 40ft average even at 2 +ft deep wet northern new England snow. I have to admit I do save the real super heavy duty work like logging, 5-6ft boulders and all the digging for my Deere 1050 tractor, as the 1500lb bucket lift capacity and 2250 three point lift, aswell as my model 8 quick attach backhoe absolutely slaughters everything needed. Last year we had a storm come through dropped 44" of very heavy wet snow on us which was fckn brutal so I thought the "little" Ariens would need the help of my 6,000lb real tractor to power through all the dam snow but I shit you not even the 7ft back at the end of the driveway piles from the big 4x4 county plows and graders were no FCKNG issue....I honestly couldn't believe it, obviously common sense and just letting her work that old whore was absolutely unstoppable lol I know a lot of guys run the gt tractors and they're great, but wtf man if I burn a belt IDC and in 5 minutes I'm all set....can't do that with the GT series. Even tho they're all only meant for maximum gardening at most, if I didn't have my big Deere tractor I'd probably have the need of the GTs hydraulics capabilities, but I don't so the best all around garden tractor for me is that Ariens HT-16 little work horse dressed nicely in her 23x10.5's Firestone 23°s don't even need chains with the weight box they bite so hard. The real gear transaxle she has is far heavier duty than even I (or my wife or even my young little Buck) need, but she's way over built which is why she's lasted 70ish % all original!!! Too bad they don't make them anymore, as they truely were top shelf all the way around with balls of steel an iron dcks for Christ sake, many times I shouldve snapped mine into pieces yet she just sits there begging for more every single season every single year

Quel differance entre le 5100 et le 7100?mercie de repondre😊

i am super impressed how well this works. i am from eastern canada and we get lots of snow. this summer i got a great deal on an old ariens s16h but no attachment. being a hoarder i had lots of old snowblowers and parts so i am currently building my self a snowblower (heavy duty) out of an old ariens snowblower. can't wait to see it at work.

I found a pipe adpter that went from 1/8 pipe to 3/4 pipe used it like a little funnel makes filling the trans faster

call me crazy. . . but I think cab, windshield, wiper, LOOKING forward; thats my pick!!!!

Might wanna learn to use a loader before making a video bud

Why are you blowing the snow weight on top of the roofs of the buildings?

Great video. Was wondering, is the impeller on the ariens blower 6 blade. ?

That’s a great spring and fall set up. Thanks for the video.

I see it's been a few years. Just wondering if you still have this old Ariens. I appreciate you making the videos. I just recently picked one of these up while looking at something else. Looks like it could be a great Beast of a worker.

Another thank you for making this video! The only issue I see with the rear pto blower is if you have neck and/or back issues, all that looking backward makes me cringe. If your healthy, then probably no problem. Frank I see your point about keeping machines such as these from sitting unused for too long. Some people have good luck and never have issues. That’s not me lol. Also, the damn mice always seem to get into my stuff when it sits for more than a few weeks at a time. I like to keep my stuff running as consistent as possible year round.

I have three of the Ariens tractors they don’t have to be a designated tractor .I have blowers blades mower decks and tiller,they are great little machines

Wheel weights make the tractor go down the yard smoother, not so bouncy.

Thanks for taking the time to make the vid. Love watching the machines work. Where did you get a new 3 point blower for $2000? Everything I see seems to be twice that money. Anyway, for my way of thinking, machines do better when they do not sit but rather get reasonably regular usage. That is the problem with a dedicated snowblower in my experience.

Do you know what kind of hyd pump is on the front of your 400? Any way you can send a picture of the coupling used between the pump and the pto gear? Thanks

How was the larger pully attached

Nice rig. DONT over do it on wheel weights, you can EASILY snap those axles. Trust me. One set is plenty.

Gotta love the snowblower clearance on these Ariens! I'm joking cause there's like an inch or 2.

saranno sì e nò 10 cent. di neve...

I have a new Holland s-14 I got and it doesn’t have a 3 point or the hydraulic lever so I assume whoever had it first didn’t order it with hydraulics? If so I want to add them so I can use my case 444 implements with it 😂

I’m glad you tubers watch other you tubers

So did you get poison ivy after playing around in it? Cool video

I have the gt 18 could you give me a list of part that you have for that setup. I'd like to do the same thing but there's no old timers around to help any more.

Cause I am about to get into the landscaping business. And looking at a 400 with deck. Guy is a estate clear out guy. Has the loader and backhoe for it. Was wondering if these could be adapted to be quick hitch to take on and off as needed.

Are those capable of being converted to quick hitch loaders?

My Ariens GT always tilts to one side plus when i snow blow one side skips over the snow ?

Does anybody know where I can find a three-point hookup for my John Deere 314

Hello if you ever decide to sell loafer please let me know very interested. Thank you Eric

Looking for either a John Deere 855 or 400. Older . Wanting with bucket or blade for snow.

Nice setup !! I just picked up an Ariens GT with a small bucket on the front. and a 27HP Kohler.

What sweeper make and model is that?

First view. Always wanted a sweeper for the ariens.

Oooh a big wish just to have at snow blover for my ariens It looks realy good

GREAT video. Sure wish I could try mine out, 8 years and no snow yet

I have never replaced my blower but when it stopped working I figured it might be time. Your video was exactly what I needed. Just an FYI there is a gentleman in Green Isle Minnesota who has already done the window motor install I'm the Ariens blower. He is on Craig's list in the Minneapolis section. I'm sure he'd to help if you hit any snags. Thanks again.

Hey was wondering if there is any grease zerk in that area

I have a GT14, I got the rear lift working great, how do I switch it for the front lift?

I enjoyed this video simply because it is an Ariens machine and you don't see too many videos of them and she is do an excellent job.

Pretty impressive for a toy.

What are the front tires

How did u attach the blade to the tractor I been looking everywhere for different ideas

Nice tractor i have b6100 4x4 and i love it i use it for everything iam getting ready to build a front blade for it.

Can you tell me what the device holding weight on the three point hitch is?
