Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!  If you live where it snows you must have a snowblower!

When snow falls it has to be removed from sidewalks, driveways, parking lots, and patios.  The best way to remove snow is with a snowblower.  Shoveling snow isn’t for everyone, but using a snowblower sure is.  Let’s start with the smallest snowblower, then work our way up to the largest snowblower.

Single Stage Versus Two-Stage Snowblowers

Let’s discuss the difference between a single stage snowblower and a two stage snowblower.  

• A single stage snowblower uses one action to remove snow.  The rubber auger spins quickly and directs the snow up to the snowblower chute to be blown out. 
   
  A two stage snowblower has a metal auger that spins slowly and funnels the snow back to an impeller which spins quickly and directs the snow up and out of the snowblower chute – so two actions to remove the snow, hence the term two stage snowblower.
• If you live in a condo, or just have a very small area of snow to clear, like front steps, or a path for your pet, you can easily use a power shovel-type of snowblower.  This type of snowblower is electric.  You will have to be able to reach where you need to clear using an extension cord.  This power shovel snowblower is used just like a shovel.  Most do not have wheels but can ride on the surface to blow the snow away.  A power shovel snowblower cannot be used on gravel,  it can only be used on solid flat surfaces.
• Single stage snowblowers are the most common type of snowblower.  These snowblowers, are only for use on concrete or blacktop surfaces and depending on size, can quickly clear average size driveways and sidewalks.
• A single stage snowblower cannot be used on a gravel driveway, as the auger will pick up the gravel and throw it causing damage to surrounding area and people.
• Single stage snowblowers are available in battery powered or gasoline versions. They have rubber, reinforced paddles, a scraper bar, and a chute to easily control the discharge of the snow. 
• If you are using a battery powered snowblower, you must have extra batteries on hand to finish the job!  Gasoline single-stage snowblowers are available in recoil (pull), or electric start.  An electric start snowblower has a small electric motor that you simply plug into an outlet with an outdoor extension cord, push a button, the snowblower starts and runs off of the gasoline in the engine.  You then unplug it to use it.  A snowblower that has an electric start also has a recoil starter on the engine.  
• In perfect conditions, a single stage snowblower can throw snow from 25 to 40 feet. Mosty have an18 or 21-inch clearing width, and can clear snow up to the depth of the snowblower’s auger housing.  
• Most single stage snowblowers have a two-year manufacturer warranty.  Most battery powered snowblowers have a two-year warranty on the machine, and a 3-year battery warranty. Please check your  snowblower for the correct warranty length.  

Toro’s Snowmaster snowblower is a combination of a single stage snowblower and a two stage snowblower.  This snowblower has a larger clearing width and depth, but it is self-propelled, similar to a lawnmower.  More horsepower, quick stick chute control, electric start, and a 24-inch clearing width make this snowblower a must have.  The Toro Snowmaster has a 3-year manufacturer warranty.

Toro’s two-stage snowblowers are available in battery powered or gasoline.  Once again, when using any style of battery powered snowblower, you must have enough battery power to clear the area.  Different snow consistencies will determine how long your battery will last, so plan accordingly.  

• Toro’s two- stage gasoline snowblowers are second to none.  Units range in size from 8 to 14 horsepower, and have clearing widths from 24 to 32 inches. 
• Quick stick chute control allows the snowblower operator to easily adjust the angle and direction of the snow exiting the chute.  
• All Toro two-stage snowblowers are both recoil and electric start, and are self-propelled with at least 3 forward speeds and one reverse speed.  
• A two-stage snowblower has adjustable skids on the side of the auger housing which is ideal for a gravel driveway.  Simply adjust the skids above the gravel to avoid the snowblower picking up the gravel during use.  
• The tires on a two-stage snowblower have very deep, knobby treads so tire chains are no longer needed.  No more shear pins on the snowblower auger either, because the gears are hardened and have a commercial-grade auger box. 
• Some Toro two-stage snowblower models even have handwarmers! A two-stage snowblower can handle any type of snow.  It can chew up and throw heavy, wet snow really far.  A snowblower like this is a must in regions where abundant snowfall is common.  
• It is best to use a snowblower rather than a snow blade, especially because a snowblower blows the snow off of, and away from your driveway.  A snow blade pushes snow only.  You can only push snow so far, and in years with heavy snowfall your driveway or parking lot will get smaller and smaller.  This is why it is best to use a snowblower to remove snow.
