================== ARTICLE START ==================
There are many advantages to owning a snow thrower. You can
find one that will be perfect to help you clear the driveway
quickly next time there is a heavy snowfall.
Should You Get A Snow Thrower?
These neat pieces of kit can be a godsend in winter, making
short work of removing the snow that blocks the access to your
home and therefore allowing you to stay nice and toasty indoors
for longer! While the city and state administration take care of
removing the snow public roads, the responsibility is all yours
when it comes to your property so you may have to brave the
arctic weather to clear the footpath to your door and the
driveway. This is traditionally the men’s job to sort out.
A power tool like the snow thrower can be the difference between
hours of punishing, back-breaking physical efforts and getting
it all done very quickly.
Single-Stage Snow Thrower
Snow throwers, usually powered by a gas two-stroke engine, can
be either single stage or two-stage. Both kinds feature a
metallic or plastic trepan designed to cut through the snow or
ice. Sometimes it can even be made of hard rubber. The machine
features a series of gears that will drive the trepan to break
off, gather and then blow the snow out of the way with
impressive strength and velocity. The spinning trepan, or auger,
contributes to propelling the thrower by being in contact with
the ground, and pulling the machine forward as a result. A
single-stage blower can usually cope with clearing between 12
and 22 inches of snow with each pass. You will most likely need
several passes to rid your driveway of snow so these are usually
only recommended for light residential usage.
What’s In A Two-Stage Thrower?
In addition to the trepan or auger, a two-stage thrower also
features a pump, which makes the machine a lot more efficient by
propelling the snow pumped up into the thrower much farther
away. Sometime they can throw the snow gathered as far as 45
feet away, which can act as a magnet for all the kids in the
neighborhood, so you should make sure they stand well away from
the place the snow is going to land. A two-stage thrower is so
powerful that it will make short work of any snow clearing job
you can think of, and you may even have quite a bit of fun in
the process! In a single pass your double-stage machine will be
able to clear a width of snow of between 2 and 3 feet, so you
should be back inside in no time at all.
Making Snow Removal Easier
-If this is allowed by your local authorities, you may be
allowed to sprinkle salt onto it to ease up the process. Always
check before going ahead to make sure you are complying with
local regulations.
-Think layers! When going out in very cold weather to clear the
driveway after a snowfall, try to wear several layers of
clothing: you will be better insulated against the cold and able
to work more comfortably.
-Be extremely careful when walking out on the snow or ice to
clear the driveway as it is easy to fall and sustain serious
injuries as a result: shoes with added grip may be a worthwhile
consideration.
