Ariens Platinum 28 RapidTrak SHO 28 in. 389cc Two-Stage Snow Blower (921073)
28-inch tracked two-stage blower with a 389cc Ariens AX engine and RapidTrak drive. Includes electric starting, LED lighting and heated handgrips.
The Platinum SHO clearing system pairs a 14-inch serrated steel auger with a high-speed three-blade steel impeller and cast-iron gearcase. A 21-inch intake feeds the two-stage system, and the manufacturer rates discharge distance from 3 to 55 feet depending on conditions.
Six forward and two reverse speeds, Quick Turn chute rotation and an in-dash deflector support control from the operator position. Commercial skid shoes, an adjustable steel scraper and one-hand interlock are standard. This is the current 389cc RapidTrak model, not the older 369cc revision.
