Questions Every Snowthrower Buyer Should Ask...

Choosing the Right Snowthrower

 

How much Snow do You Get?

Dual stage snowthrowers, which feature powerful engines and maximum clearing widths, are recommended
for heavy snowfall areas that typically get up to 22“ of snow. Dual stage models are ideal for moderate
snowfall conditions as well. Up to 16“ of snow is considered moderate. Single stage snowthrowers are
designed for light-use applications with up to 10“ of snow. They are llightweight, maneuverable and easy
to use.

 

 

What Type of Snow do You Get?

 

Tough northern winters demand dual stage snowthrowers. Dual stage units are built to perform in conditions
ranging from moderate to extremely heavy, wet snow. Higher engine horsepower also gives the snowthrower
increased ability to handleheavy and wet snow. Single stage snowthowers are intended for lighter-duty
applications.

 

How Much Area do You Have to Clear?

 

The clearing path is the width of the path, the snowthrower will clear in one pass. The wider the clearing
path, the faster the snow removal job can be completed. The engine size also makes the difference. As
horsepower increases, so does the ability to quickly complere the snow removal job. In addition, the
wheel propelled drive systems on dual stage models make it easier to drive the snowthrower when large
areas need to be cleared.

 

 

What is Single Stage VS. Dual Stage Operation?

Single Stage Designed for lighter-duty applications such as clearing sidewalks, steps and smaller driveways, single stage snowthrowers are lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and storage. In one efficient operation, the auger rotates at a high speed to gather snow and throw it out the chute.

Dual Stage Designed for medium to heavy-duty applications, dual stage snowthrowers are ruggedmade for quick, easy removal of large amounts of snow. Snow is gathered inward by slow-turning augers and directed toward the high speed impeller which throws it out the chute.
