The Ariens Compact 24 RapidTrak is a two-stage gas snow blower with a 223cc Ariens AX engine, a 24-inch clearing width and an 11-inch serrated steel auger. Its signature feature is the RapidTrak track drive, which keeps the machine planted on slopes and gravel while still letting you switch between wheel-like and track-like traction. A cast iron gear case, electric start and a 2.5x quick-turn remote chute round out a package aimed at homeowners with long driveways and heavy, drifting snow. Against wheeled 24-inch two-stage rivals it trades some maneuverability for grip and climbs better; against larger 28-inch and 30-inch machines it is easier to store and handle but clears less per pass.

Owners of the RapidTrak line praise the traction and the strong Ariens AX engine, and many say it throws snow far and starts reliably in cold. The common complaints are the weight and effort of steering the tracks, especially in tight spaces, and the lack of heated grips.
The newly redesigned Ariens Compact 24 RapidTrak two-stage snow blower features a 223cc engine and a heavy duty cast iron gear case. The Ariens Compact snow blowers blow snow up to 40 feet. A remote chute and cap rotation allows you to quickly direct the chute from the dash to adjust your snow-throwing angle.
