No, I was referring to the kind that are in the pic that has my son in it. Both are identical....and made by MTD. Most snowblowers are made by them, the colors and names just change.
I had heard that ariens offered attachments.......gotta do a google on it.....
They do (or, did), there is a lawn vac, a front mower, and others. Tried to post a pic, but it wanted to link to a website. Just google "ariens snowblower attachments", and click on images
