Product Features
A wide 30-in. clearing width moves up to 83 tons of snow per hour, with a serrated steel auger and a 14-in. high-speed steel impeller throwing snow up to 55 ft — clear the widest driveways in fewer passes.
The larger AX 420cc engine runs quiet, starts on the first push in the cold, and holds power through thick, wet, drifted snow — full-pressure lubrication means real engine life.
Standard LED lighting, handwarmers and an in-dash remote deflector lever let you adjust throw distance without ever letting go of the controls, even in low light or a whiteout.
The PLATINUM 30 SHO ships with a 3-year residential product warranty and 5-year consumer gear case warranty, backed by a cast-iron gear case built for decades of hard winters.

I bought this because my old single-stage machine couldn't keep up with our heavy lake-effect snow in Western New York. This two-stage system is fantastic. The 30-in. width clears my whole driveway in half the passes. Strong Ariens AX engine too. Love it!

I purchased this to replace a much smaller machine and found it far more capable clearing the long gravel drive and walkways on our three-acre property. The wide clearing width combined with Auto-Turn steering is a real time saver. In five years I have had only minor maintenance. I recommend it to anyone with a large, exposed property.

I owned a previous, smaller Ariens blower — this one is much better. It turns easy and on a dime. The drift cutters clear anything that starts to pile up at the edges. When this one dies I hope they still make a version of it, because I will buy another.

Having worn out two smaller blowers I was ready to trade up, and after reviewing all of the Ariens specifications I selected the Platinum 30 SHO for its advanced features. The AX engine runs smooth and it handles like it steers itself with a tight turning radius. It clears beautifully and I absolutely love the remote deflector control. Clearly designed by great engineers for owners who insist on a quality machine.

For 31 years I used a much smaller machine. Once I mastered the deflector control I was clearing my whole driveway in one pass with zero clogs. I really like being able to get in and around landscaping with the tight turning radius, and the optional drift cutter kit slices through packed drifts at the edge of the plowed road. On my acre lot the Platinum 30 SHO is a perfect fit.

Bought the Platinum 30 SHO two years ago and have used it extensively all winter. The clearing system is especially convenient for heavy snow — it moves through drifts, reducing my pass count, then throws it clear of the driveway. Plenty of power, and the wide width lets me clear close to the garage without doubling back.

I bought this specialized blower especially for its wide clearing width and Auto-Turn steering. It took some trial and error to learn which speed setting is best for wet versus powdery snow. Now that I have it dialed in I am super pleased and clogging is no longer an issue. Adaptability and ruggedness are its strengths.
