I bought this machine figuring it was a really good investment. From the first day, I had problems. Replaced 3 cables. The BIG problem with the machine is the drive system. I constantly had problems with the wheels locking and had to have the wheels cleaned out. Ariens told me the drive system was not the problem. This went on until the warranty ran out - then I was on my own. The other problem is trying to adjust the height adjusters on the back wheels. They would constantly get stuck. I had to take the back wheels off to adjust the height. All in all, I lost around $1000 on this machine and would never buy another Ariens product again. They were horrible in helping me with the problems I had with this one. Solid deck- terrible and I mean TERRIBLE drive system.
