we want to upgrade our 11 shovel crews. its a big job and i want to do it well. our big 28 inch 2 stage blowers just sit there. they are too heavy and we dont get enough snow to use them. we use toro power clears for single stage blowers. but the crews keep breaking the wheels by dropping them from trucks. what do you all use. has anyone tried the ariens commercial 21.

You need something tough that can handle being tossed around.

Look at commercial-grade single-stages (like Toro's "C" series) or Honda's lighter 2-stages. They're built way beefier for pros.
Ariens Commercial 21? Yeah, those are solid. Lots of contractors use 'em because they're designed for abuse. Could totally solve your wheel problem!
 
Totally agree, you need something built to take a beating. The Toro C series, Honda lighter 2-stages, and Ariens Commercial 21 are proven workhorses. Lots of guys running them for exactly that reason. Solid call.

this! Honda Single Stage Snow Blower is a must-have if you're going to invest in new units.
They're known for being incredibly durable and reliable, with a commercial grade engine and a heavy duty chassis. Yeah, a bit more expensive, but they'll last for years and are less likely to break when a crew member drops them. You'll spend more upfront, but save on replacement costs and downtime in the long run
