Drift cutters. Blades that bolt onto the sides of the housing and slice the top of a drift taller than the intake, so it falls into the auger instead of over it.
What the Ariens Drift Cutter Kit (2-Pack) listing names:
Hold the part number against your manual and the model plate before you order.

Our take
The Ariens Drift Cutter Kit (2-Pack) is about blades for drifts taller than the intake, and it doesn't pretend to be more. No buyer reviews yet, so the Ariens Drift Cutter Kit (2-Pack) has to win you over on paper. Honestly, the catch: no word on the exact machines it fits. We'd pick it if wind piles drifts taller than your machine's intake; otherwise, put it next to the Husqvarna 532183614 Drift Cutter Kit first.
Before the Ariens Drift Cutter Kit (2-Pack) ships, check your model number: it is listed for specific machines, and fit is model-specific.
Look for the plate on the frame, usually under the handle or behind the engine, and copy the model and serial numbers into your phone.
Your manual lists the part numbers and the steps. Our maintenance guide helps you plan the job.
Parts are easy to fit in a dry garage and miserable mid-storm. Our parts guide lists what is worth stocking.
