Ariens leaf shredder / vacuum attachment
Original Message   Mar 2, 2012 11:10 pm
Came across this photo of an Ariens snow blower attachment


Any body know where I can get one, looks like a god way to get more use from your snow blower (not getting much use this year)!

Cheers

There are actually several attachments available (at least 6 besides the snowblowers).  They are no longer made so your only hope is ebay or craigslist.  They are also pretty rare.

Go to this web site and scroll about 3/4 of the way down and you will find a list of all the stuff you might be able to find.

Thanks for the url Shryp, forgot about that site. Looks like they only made them in the late 60s early 70s for the 10,000 series. You're right about the rarity, I've only ever seen the rotary brushes for sale.

There's a reason for more than one snowblower.
Because.

I picked up one of these leaf shredder attachments a few years ago.  It had never been used.  I also got a package of the vented bags, never opened. 
I still haven't attached it to one of my tractor units.  One of these days I may get around to using it, but with enough land to dump all my leaves, perhaps not for a while.
