Winter isn’t over yet even though we hope the end is close. When considering snow removal in regards to caring for your lawn, it’s a good idea to ask how you are going to take care of your lawn, sidewalks, and property. There are some awesome tools including snowblowers that might make your life much easier!
Living in the northern states, owning a shovel is definitely a necessity but what about a snowblower? If you have a long driveway, shoveling can take hours. If you have multiple snowstorms, it’s a lot of ground to cover when shoveling and there can be a simple solution. Have you considered a snow blower? This tool can be easy to use, save you time, and save your body from all the work of shoveling. There are different types of snowblowers, as well as tips and tricks we will share below!
Types of Snowblowers
Depending on the amount of ground you have to cover, and the amount of snow in your area, there are different types of snow blowers that might work for your conditions. The cost of a unit can range from hundreds to thousands depending on the power, size, and features you want. If you’re a first-time purchaser, research used options to save you money.
Stages:
Snowblowers have different stages depending on what they do. A regular one-stage snow blower has a spinning auger and a chute. A stage 2 snow blower has an auger and a chute with an impeller that throws the snow farther. A stage 3 snow blower has the same features but with an accelerator that speeds up the process and sends snow the farthest away.
Power:
Power sources are another main component to look at when deciding on a snowblower. There are electric and gas. Most use gas and usually, gas blowers have better performance.
Features:
Snowblowers have many features to help you easily remove your snow.
- Speed control
- Chute direction control, up, down and side to side
- Easy operation handles and turn features
Some really nice features that make your experience even better are heated handles, headlights, and easy starting.
