The first snow of the winter season is always welcome. Everybody who is living in a snowy climate usually loves the first snow of the season. As the season drags on all of the tough work of shoveling snow begins to take it’s toll. The work required to clear our sidewalks and driveway can be way easier if you’ve a snow blower. There are a couple of things you must think about when deciding which model will do what you need.
Snow blowers come in two main types : single stage and 2 stage. Single stage models are usually lighter and need less regular upkeep. They pick up snow by employing a metal and rubber auger to scoop up the snow and throw it out of the way. The largest drawback of employing a single stage snow blower is that it uses a 2 stroke engine which makes plenty of pollution. They’ll also not be as powerful as 2 stage snow blowers. They don’t work as well in places that get storms which drop more than six inches of snow or wet heavy snow.
2 stage snow blowers are sometimes costlier and weigh more than a single stage model. Two stage snow blowers clear snow by employing a slow turning metal auger that lifts the snow, pulls it thru an impeller and then throws is out of the way employing a discharge chute. They are superb for deeper snow as well as heavy snow. They’ve a 4 cycle engine which is less polluting than a 2 cycle engine utilized by single stage snowthrowers. After you choose which kind of snow blower you need you will then have to determine how wide a clearing path you need. When snow blowers have a wider clearing path they’ll need extra space in your garage when they’re not in use.
