Winter storms can transform our surroundings, but with heavy snowfall comes the challenge of clearing driveways and
pathways. A quality snowblower can make winter maintenance far easier. Here’s how to choose the right model for your property.
1. **Determine the Snowfall Type**
For regions with frequent, heavy snowfall, a two-stage snowblower is recommended. These powerful machines use an auger to break
up the snow and a fan to discharge it through the chute. Single-stage models, however, are more suitable for light to moderate
snowfalls and are ideal for flat, paved surfaces.
2. **Consider the Terrain**
If your property has slopes or uneven terrain, a tracked snowblower provides better traction than wheeled models. Tracked
snowblowers are designed for stability and can tackle challenging surfaces effectively, reducing the risk of slipping on icy
areas.
3. **Electric or Gas?**
For smaller properties with light snow accumulation, an electric snowblower is lightweight, easy to use, and requires minimal
maintenance. Gas-powered snowblowers, on the other hand, offer more power and are better suited for larger areas or heavy snow.
4. **Look at Clearing Width and Throw Distance**
Wider clearing widths reduce the number of passes needed, and a greater throw distance allows you to direct the snow further
away. Marina Inc. offers models with customizable throw distances and directional controls for optimal performance.
