Heavy Duty Front Weight Kit for Ariens Snow Blowers

This heavy-duty front weight kit (72406500) for Ariens 24"-36" snow blowers adds ballast to the front of the machine to improve traction and steering in heavy snow.

Overview

The heavy duty front weight kit is a dedicated ballast solution for Ariens 24-inch to 36-inch snow blowers, helping keep the auger housing firmly planted on uneven or packed snow. By shifting weight forward, this front weight kit reduces front-end lift and allows the tires to bite harder during clearing. Homeowners and commercial operators tackling deep drifts will notice more consistent forward drive and less bouncing.

Built For Performance

• Heavy-gauge steel bracket with black powder-coat finish withstands winter moisture and road salt

• Compact profile adds downforce without interfering with the auger or chute operation
