Buyer Guide Snow Blower Accessories

If you’re shopping for a snow blower, there are some accessories you may want to consider adding to your purchase.

• Safety. The safety features of your snow blower can be affected by which accessories you buy.
• Storage. Some accessories, such as chute extensions, may be too small to store correctly.
• Snow Thrower. The snow thrower accessory, or thrower, is designed to make your job easier. It works by spinning at a high velocity and throwing snow at the ground.
• Electrical. Some snow thrower accessories, such as tow kits, are electrically powered.
• Snow Blowers. Find the right snow blower for your needs.
• Depth. Find the right depth. Look for a snow blower that can throw up to 2 inches (50mm) of snow per minute.
• Width. The width of the snow blower blade should be about 12 inches wide.
• Length. The length of the blade should be about 21 inches (530mm).

How to choose Snow Blower Accessories

 With winter in full swing, many snow blowers need to be serviced and tune-ups. But, just because your snow blower is running smoothly today doesn’t mean it will run that way tomorrow. When shopping for snow blower accessories, here are some things to keep in mind:

• The snow blower that you buy will ultimately rely on the engine and blades to cut through the snow. So, the quality of the blades will depend on the quality of the engine. If the engine is an older unit, you may want to look into purchasing new blades.
• How much snow do you tend to blow through? Snow blowers are made for different amounts of snow. The larger ones can cut through four to five inches of deep snow. If you tend to deal with a lot of snow, it’s best to invest in a larger snow blower.
• How often are you likely to use your snow blower? If you tend to use your snow blower often, you may want to consider purchasing snow blower accessories that extend the longevity of your snow blower. For example, you may want to get a snow blower cover — which will help protect the snow blower from the weather and prevent snow from sticking to the blades and clogging the chute.
• Do you plan on using your snow blower in windy conditions? The snow blower blades, which come in a variety of materials, can wear out quickly if they aren’t properly cared for. For example, the blades may become bent or warped. This can cause the snow blower to have trouble cutting through the snow effectively.
• How often do you plan on using your snow blower? All gas-powered snow blowers need to be serviced at least once a year. Some snow blowers have parts that may need to be repaired. So, it’s important to plan ahead.

 

How to maintain Snow Blower Accessories

 Winter’s harshest days are behind us, but that shouldn’t mean you should put away your snow blower just yet. For many of us, snow blowers aren’t just a tool used to remove snow from driveways and sidewalks, but a tool used to replace our snow shovels.

Snow blowers become an essential part of home maintenance during the cold months, and it’s important to maintain their accessories.

• Filters: When purchasing new snow blowers, it’s recommended that you purchase a 2-stage or 3-stage snow blower. 2-stage snow blowers have one stage for pushing snow, and a second stage for directing snow to where you want it to go. 3-stage snow blowers rely on 1 stage for pushing snow, 1 stage for directing snow, and 1 stage for blowing
• Know how often you need to replace your filters. Some snow blowers come with special attachments that allow the snow blower to be hooked up to a vacuum, making it easy to clean out the snow blower’s filter. Other snow blowers have replaceable filters that require frequent cleaning.
• Oil: Most snow blowers run on 2-cycle oil, but there are some models that run on 4-cycle oil. 2-cycle oil is designed to burn cleanly and quickly, and 4-cycle oil is designed to burn more slowly.
• Know how to change your oil. Most snow blowers have 2- or 3-clip designs that allow you to remove the oil filler cap, remove the oil filter, and refill the oil.
