The Ariens Gravely 921317 DELUXE TRACK 24 is a popular two-stage gas-powered snow blower known for its robust performance and excellent traction. Featuring a 24-inch clearing width, this model was designed for homeowners and property managers dealing with moderate to heavy snowfall. Its track drive system provided superior grip on icy and uneven surfaces, making it a reliable choice for challenging winter conditions.
The Ariens Gravely 921317 DELUXE TRACK 24 snow blower was a workhorse designed for demanding snow removal tasks. While specific production years may vary, it was typically available throughout the late 2000s and early 2010s. The engine was typically a Tecumseh or Briggs & Stratton engine, ranging from 8 to 10 HP, and some models featured an electric start for easier cold-weather starts. As a two-stage snow blower, it employs an auger to break up the snow and an impeller to throw it away from the clearing path. The 24-inch clearing width and intake height of around 20-21 inches made it capable of handling significant snowfalls. It was known for throwing snow up to 40 feet. The tracked drive system allowed for superior traction and control, especially on inclines and icy surfaces, with multiple forward and reverse speeds. Chute rotation was typically manual. Many models included a headlight for improved visibility during early morning or late evening snow clearing. While heated grips were not always standard, they were sometimes offered as an upgrade. This snow blower was ideally suited for homeowners and businesses in areas with moderate to heavy snowfall, particularly those with gravel driveways or uneven terrain where wheel-driven models might struggle.
