When winter comes, summer residents think about technical equipment. An important issue is the choice of snow blower. Snow removal equipment saves you from grueling physical work, especially in snowy winters. In a small area, regular and moderate physical activity will be a joy, but in a large area it will be difficult to put it in order.
A snow blower is a structure made up of parts and devices for collecting snow masses. The machine then throws away the snow. The units are divided into two types, depending on the technology for performing the work:
- single stage;
- two-stage.
In the case of a single-stage option, two different tasks are performed by augers (devices for collecting snow mass). They collect snow in the device and throw it into a special chute. This design makes the snow blower quite vulnerable. The augers have to reach maximum rotation speed to throw the snow away. And if a hard object is encountered while the snow blower is operating, then even unnoticed by the driver, the mechanism can easily fail.
But two-stage snow blowers are more reliable and advanced. The design includes a rotor - an additional mechanism that serves as an intermediary between the outlet chute and the screws. Therefore, the rotation speed of the screws is much lower, which avoids their premature wear.
Options for choosing a reliable snow blower for your dacha
There are certain criteria, adhering to which you can avoid making a mistake in your choice.
- Snow blower engine type. Gasoline models are the most popular. They are powerful and, depending on weight, are divided into non-self-propelled and self-propelled models. The second type of power is electricity. Snow removal is not always carried out near a power source. In some areas, access to electricity is very limited. But this does not prevent many summer residents from using models with an electric motor. If the wire is long enough, you can remove a small section very quickly. The advantages of such models are that there is no need to add fuel or change the oil, they are easy to maintain and cost-effective.
- Snow blower fuel tank capacity. This parameter for gasoline models ranges from 2 to 5 liters. This is enough for an hour of intensive work.
- Snow Blower Bucket Size. The performance of the snow blower also depends on it. This parameter provides the volume of snow capture.
In addition to the listed criteria, it is worth paying attention to the method of movement of the snow blower. Tracked models have better cross-country ability and are easier to overcome obstacles. The operating characteristics of wheeled snow blowers depend on the depth and width of the tread.
This must be taken into account when planning labor costs.
