Buyer Guide Snow Blowers

 If like me, you dread dumping snow on your driveway, you’ll want to check out these buying guide tips.

• Manual or Electric? If you’re someone who just wants the snow cleared without the hassle of dealing with cords, manual snow blowers would be the best bet for you. However, if you’d rather not deal with cords, electric snow blowers might be a better choice.
• Price. Price can range widely, but you’ll want to compare prices between similar models. It’s best to look for a snow blower that’s priced in the middle.
• Capacity. Capacity is the amount of snow a snow blower can clear in a single pass.
• Height. Snow blowers come in two basic varieties – standard and tall. Tall models have a lift that allows for higher clearing heights but at the cost of reduced mobility.
• Width. Width is usually measured in inches. Wide models are sometimes easier to maneuver around tight spaces.
• Length. Length is the distance a snow blower can throw snow.
• Amps. Amps measure the amount of power a snow blower has.
• Tires. Tires are basic, yet essential, parts that dictate the maneuverability of a snow blower

How to choose Snow Blowers

 

1. Engine Size – the engines sizes are measured in cubic centimeters or cubic inches
2. Horsepower – an engine’s horsepower is determined by multiplying the engine’s cubic centimeters by 37.3
3. Variable Speed – if this feature is on your snow blower, the forward speed of the snow blower can be adjusted up and down
4. Handling – for heavy snow, a snow blower’s handles should be large and easy to grab
5. Power Steering – this helpful feature makes moving the snow blower around easier
6. Chute – the chute is where the snow is ejected from the snow blower
7. Reciprocating – snow blowers with a power stroke feature, like the Thomas engine auger, rely on reciprocation of motion
8. Substitution – to find out if your snow blower can be used in the winter, check the manual that comes with the snow blower or call us
9. Snow Tires – snow tires should be larger than regular tires to ensure proper traction

How to maintain Snow Blowers

 

1. Changing oils – this varies by model. Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
2. Changing filters – always, always, always change the filter.
3. Cleaning – some manufacturers recommend a snow blower-specific cleaner, but any lubricant like WD-40 should be fine
4. Storage – if you have the space, store your snow blower in a protected area like a garage or shed
5. Troubleshooting – if your snow blower is stuck in gear, check the drive belt to see if it’s wrapped. Pull off the belt from your snow blower and spin it. If it spins and the belt is in good shape, put it back on and give it another go. If it still doesn’t work, replace the belt.
