Buyer Guide Snow Blowers

Winter has finally arrived! It’s time to get the snow blower out of the shed and clean up the snow. Don’t fall prey to flashy advertisements. Instead, spend some time reviewing the features and specifications of each model.

• Look for snow blowers that are lightweight. This is particularly relevant if you plan on using a snow blower on a regular basis.
• Look for a snow blower with a curved chute. These chutes bend more naturally, making it easier to shovel the snow into the snow thrower.
• Look for a snow blower with a 12-inch chute.
• Look for a snow blower with a 12-inch clearance. This is helpful because it enables you to clear more snow with less effort.
• Look for a snow blower with a 15-inch clearing width.
• Look for a snow blower with a 7.5-inch turning radius.
• Look for a snow blower with a 25-inch cutting width.

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.
