Snowblowers with wheels are better than snowblowers with tracks because the wheel snowblowers will move faster and have the option to add tire chains which have more traction than tracks. Tracks on snowblowers are all rubber with no metal parts and do not grip a driveway as good as a tire with chains plus track snowblowers are extra expensive.

An Ariens 24" high output weighs 265-lbs so it probably needs either chains or tire studs on the rubber wheels to get it to go up a steep driveway and blow the snow.
