Ariens Drift Cutter Kit for Two-Stage Snowblowers, Set of 2 Blades — Fits Deluxe/Platinum/Professional, Foldable Mount

The Ariens Set of 2 Drift Cutter Kit is a two-piece adjustable blade attachment that mounts to compatible Ariens two-stage snow blowers to slice through deep drifts and funnel packed snow into the auger.

If you regularly tackle heavy, wind-packed snowbanks, this genuine Ariens accessory helps your machine take on higher, denser drifts with less plugging and fewer passes. The kit includes two drift-cutter blades plus all mounting hardware and knobs so you can install the attachment quickly on supported Deluxe, Platinum and Professional models. When not in use the blades fold down against the housing for compact storage, eliminating the need to remove them between jobs.

How does the drift cutter improve snow removal performance?

The cutters extend above the auger housing to sever and channel deep drifts directly into the intake, reducing the need to ram into piles or make multiple passes. By pre-slicing compacted snow, the auger receives a more consistent feed which lowers clogs and strain on the machine.

• Extends upward to cut through packed snow before it reaches the auger
• Creates a more uniform snow feed for fewer blockages
• Helps reduce labor and repeated passes through heavy drifts

Will the cutters stay out of the way when I don’t need them?

Yes — the blades pivot down to rest along the auger housing so they stay attached while taking up minimal space. No tools are required to move them between the extended and stowed positions, making transition fast during changing conditions.

• Rotate down for compact on-machine storage
• No removal or extra tools required between sessions
• Low-profile when stowed to avoid damage during transport

What’s included and how easy is installation?

The kit ships with two drift blades, four clamping knobs, the necessary bolts and brackets, plus illustrated instructions so you can mount it without an extra hardware trip. Typical installation fits the pre-drilled locations on compatible Ariens auger housings and can be completed with common hand tools.

• Two drift cutter blades and full mounting hardware kit included
• Four clamping knobs for secure, adjustable positioning
• Step-by-step installation guide included for DIY mounting
