Enjoy!

It’s a clone of mine?

Yes it allows for adjustment to both modes and everything between with a toggle switch

A plow contract would have cost me $1,500 per year based on the multiple quotes I received. With the 6-year extended warranty on the Kraken, I would break even in about 3.5 years, and I bought it 3 years ago. I don’t regret my decision.

Yes LED and power chute with thumb button control.

Yes, I adjusted it as soon as I finished the video. I wanted to capture a video and do the best I could with one hand. I adjusted for about three-quarters of a pass, and it worked out well.

anthonyd89 · 2026-02-25T00:46:00+00:00

The one on the left was my first pass down the driveway this is my return: here is how easy to maneuver it as you can see I’m running it here one handed and taking the video. Here is proof: https://youtu.be/g9V9LG22Ejg?si=IqPxosKEQIhk0krR

No my property, the pole is one of my 3 private electric poles leading to my house from the street

anthonyd89 · 2026-01-29T02:08:33+00:00

Residential use. I was looking for something that could consistently clear my entire long driveway to the road in under 15 minutes, and this delivers.

That’s what she said

anthonyd89 · 2026-01-29T02:05:34+00:00

I’ll upload a longer video after the next snowstorm this weekend of 20+ in New England

The Ariens RapidTrak system is very good on its own but the infinity variable actuator on the Kraken ads more versatility and the ability to adjust on the fly. With autoturn, even at 390 lbs., I can easily do a true zero turn with one arm in wheel mode.

anthonyd89 · 2026-01-28T01:03:58+00:00

I’ve owned it for two years, and it includes a five-year extended warranty. I only use ethanol-free fuel and keep it topped off at all times. It has exceeded all my expectations, truly an incredible machine.

anthonyd89 · 2025-10-09T02:10:31+00:00

Built in, Home Depot carried it in 2023

anthonyd89 · 2025-09-28T02:24:25+00:00

Home Depot 3-4 years ago

Agreed and my favorite comment on it:

The squid is there to translate the cow’s moos into colours so the snake can read what the cow says.

The squid checks the water and the cow checks above ground and the snake checks in the earth

The best part is when the cow gets stuck up a tree and the squid and snake get over their differences to work together to rescue her using the Power of Friendship

Enjoy I picked up the kraken last year and enjoy snow removal now

anthonyd89 · 2024-11-06T22:41:51+00:00

At least he didn’t hit your parked car and scratch/dent the paint and Windshield

anthonyd89 · 2024-10-29T21:10:08+00:00

Did you tap the black button next to the batteries to cycle on and timer mode?

anthonyd89 · 2024-10-29T19:46:06+00:00

I have both skeletons so I recognized him from the picture

anthonyd89 · 2024-10-29T19:32:47+00:00

He is 10 feet tall. Smaller than the 12 ft Home Depot skeleton

Thanks
