I had bought a new ariens snowblower 27inch 9hp. I just tried it out yesterday and every time I clear the driveway, it leave about and inch left on the ground, I have to go back and do it over again.

as for the end of the driveway, it just goes on the top of the of the pile, doesn't really dig down. I have to do it over about 3 times.

I see other people blowers go once, and it clears everything.

Any recommendations ? thanks
 
It also depends how hard the snow is packed.
When snow is nice and fluffy they bite right in.
When snow is packed hard they tend to rise up and you have to backup and make another pass or two.

Good info and correct as well.
Always allow the blower time to clear the snow it's trying to throw. Otherwise they can bog down some. Some brands really whip it and throw it very fast.
As Calloway said check the height of the runners. Also check the scraper bar that runs underneath the main intake area. It should be just slighty higher than the floor. Best to use a fla concrete floor to see if it is level from side to side. It is usually alignable up and down. You want it even from one side to the other as well. Think of it as a razor blade for the surface your blowing.
Sometime you simply need to take off one layer and then reverse and get the lower layer. Especlally with the hard shit that refreezes in the end of you driveway after the plow leaves it there.
Blow that plow dump ASAP or it will refreeze in an hour after being plowed into your driveway making it even harder to blow or shovel.
 
I finally got a new blower this year, and I gotta say it was a god send last Friday.

I will say this though, with all the wind blowing, I've never eaten so much snow as that which was blowin' and swirling' around the machine.

My tip is to blow the snow off the driveway, then hop in the shower. Plus use some old clothes if its a 2 stoke motor, the exhaust fumes seem to really stink and stink up your clothes.

how big were the ones you saw and at what location? I saw some at the sherway location but they were quite big, and I wanted something smaller than the ones they had..
