What is considered when choosing a model

Snow Blower Garden

The snow blower is somewhat reminiscent of a lawn mower, the same motor and wheels.

Important! Since snow is much heavier than grass, the engine must be more powerful.

The larger the area the snow sweeper has to handle, the more powerful the motor should be. This means that it costs several times more than those intended for small areas, for example, to clear a path near a garage or remove snow near a house.

You need to take into account the area of ​​the site

Before buying, you need to see what type of drive the car has. That is, it is self-propelled or not. The second type is suitable only for freshly fallen snow, which must be removed from a small area. The first type is easy to cope with even with a caked mass. Self-propelled does everything quickly, but not carefully, often scratching and spoiling the surface on which the snow lies. It also absorbs a lot of fuel. The non-self-propelled model is distinguished by its gentle operation and economical consumption of gasoline.

When choosing between one-stage and two-stage, you should pay attention to what kind of area you need to clean. If a self-propelled model is bought, then it must be taken with a rotor, that is, a two-stage one. For small areas, a single stage is suitable.

Important! To choose a car with a suitable motor power correctly, you need to take into account the area of ​​the site.

500-600 square meters require a device with a motor power of up to 6 horsepower. In this case, the throw range will reach only 5 m.

The engine type also plays an important role. There is an electric motor, which is used for suburban areas, garage areas, that is, where the cord can reach. As for the gasoline type, these are usually powerful snow blowers for large areas.

If the area is flat, then it is worth buying a regular wheeled tool. If the surface is uneven, dotted with rises and depressions, then you cannot do without a tracked model.
