Two stage snowblowers

Some Things to Think About When Buying a Snowblower

2010-12-15T07:59:00.000-08:00

For those of us who live in areas that get a lot of snow in the winter, or for people who are unable to remove snow due to physical difficulty a snowblower would be a good idea. There are two types of snowblower, single stage and double stage so which one would be best for you and your yard? if you only have light snowfall you might find a single stage machine is good enough. For areas that experience very heavy falls of snow or you need to clear large areas a double stage machine would probably be more suitable.

Which Type of Snowblower Do You Need?
When deciding on the type and model to be purchased take into account the size of the area carefully. Fit the width of the pathway you want to clear with the clearing width of the model of snowblower, to keep to a minimum the passes you'll need to perform. Also consider the annual snowfall in your region and how 'packable' it is. If you experience about fifty or more inches of snowfall a winter a single stage snowblower would be up to the job. For much more than this or for regions where the snow is typically wet through you will really be better off with a double stage snowblower with a motor of seven hp or higher.

Different Types of Snowblowers
In a single stage snowblower a drum rotates and cuts the snow which is then lifted to be sent out through a chute. In a double stage snowblower the snow is cut but then impellers take over to toss the snow into the chute. As a result the snow is thrown further and with greater power and you can clear the snow much faster. For both these types the discharge can be adjusted by the angle and the direction. A double stage snowblower requires more power so a larger motor is needed which increases the cost of manufacture.

Single Stage Snowblowers
Carefully think about the clearing path when you are purchasing a snowblower. Single stage snowblowers have clearing paths between 20 and 22" which is acceptable for small areas but would result in many passes for a large area. They are quite easy to maintain and being small and compact are much easier to store than a much larger double stage snowblower. Also look at the wheels. Larger wheels improve propulsion as the blades of the auger can bite into the ground better and which helps to push the snowblower forwards. A single stage snowblower purchased new is usually between $250 and $600 with the higher priced snowblowers usually having a wider clearing path.

Double Stage Snowblowers
For double stage snowblowers clearing paths usually vary between twenty four to thirty inches with motors from about 7hp to thirteen hp. Prices vary from about $650 to in excess of $2000 for a sturdy, heavy duty machine for extremely large area such as golf courses or parks. For the majority of householders, with a large area to clear, a more reasonably priced medium range machine with a 7-9 horse power motor and a clearing path around 25" ought to be .

Motors
Craftsman snowblowers have a Briggs & Stratton engines which need no pre-mixing of oil and gas and have lower emissions and less noise and vibration. A lot of of the models have electric starters which are a great deal easier to work with when the weather is very cold than a recoil start. Honda snowblowers have Honda Overhead Cam engines which will run for around ninety minutes on one fill up of gas.

Snowblower Weights and Sizes
An important consideration before you buy a machine is to find out how much it weighs and if you have room for storage. Honda snowblowers are very heavy and this can be problem if you will be moving the machine up and down steps to store it away for the summer. Some machines, particularly double stage snowblowers are very bulky so make sure you have adequate room for storage.

Snowblower Safety Tips

2010-12-15T07:57:00.000-08:00

Snowblower and lawnmower accidents account for many severe injuries every year, including loss of fingers and toes, deep cuts, burns, crushed and broken bones. Injuries occur to all age groups but most people affected by these types of injuries are between twenty five and sixty. Here are some basic tips to make sure you are not among them!

Basic Safety Tips

Always read the manual and make sure you know the operating procedures before you even start up your snowblower. Never drink alcohol or take any medication that can impair your judgment before you operate a snowblower, or any other machine. Make sure any safety guides, shields or switch guards are in place and never remove them. Check with your manual for any further information on the safety features of your particular model. When operating the snowblower keep hands and feet away from any moving parts and always ensure that children and pets are at a safe distance. This is particularly important for snowblowers as they can take up and propel small objects a long way at a high speed.

Do not leave the machine running unattended, even for a brief time, always shut off the engine completely. Fill up the gas tank when the engine is cold, never when it is running or hot.

Do not wear loose clothes as they can easily become tangled in moving parts. Snowblowers vary considerably in the noise they make. Electric snowblowers are quiet but gas powered models can be very noisy. It is a good idea to have a pair of ear protectors for use with your snowblower and other machines, such as lawn tractors.

Snowblowers can easily become fouled by twigs and other debris. Do not use your hands to clear the auger or discharge chute. Use a broom handle or other stick. If you know heavy snow is predicted, clearing the area of loose material before it is covered by the snow will make snow clearing much easier.

Snowblowers with gasoline engines have the same risks as other machines so treat them accordingly. Gasoline engines produce toxic fumes so never run the snowblower in an enclosed space, your garage for instance. If you must test out the machine do it in an open area. Store gasoline in approved cans only in a safe place away from the hands of small children.

For electric snowblowers care must be taken to keep the cord away from the moving parts. Always use a cord designed for outdoor use and an outlet that has ground fault interrupting protection.

Maintenance of your Snowblower

Always do a thorough check of your machine at the start of the winter, before the first snow. Gas powered snowblowers need more maintenance than electric models and require the same types of maintenance as your car engine. The oil level and spark plug must be checked regularly and the oil changed at least once a year before the first use of the winter. Check the cord on an electric snowblower. See that it is not frayed or damaged and replace if necessary.

Make sure you do not have to visit the emergency room this coming winter by following all the safety rules!

Maintenance Tips from Honda Snowblowers

Regular maintenance is essential for your snowblower. You do not want to be stuck with a driveway full of snow and a snowblower that isn’t working because you neglected the maintenance. Check over your snowblower at least before the first snowfall and before you store it for the summer months. If you do your maintenance before the snow arrives you’ll have time to go out and buy any replacements. Blow up the tires if necessary or replace them if worn. Put on the tire chains if you have them, ready for the first use of the winter. Maintain your snowblower…

If you live in an area where there is heavy snow in the winter or if you are a homeowner who has difficulty clearing snow by hand you might want to consider buying a snowblower. For areas where the snow is lighter or for small areas a single stage snowblower should be adequate. If your area experiences very heavy snow or you have a large area to clear a double stage snowblower would be better choice. When deciding on the type and model to be purchased consider the size of the area carefully. Match up the width of the pathway you need to clear with the clearing width of the snowblower model to minimise the number of passes you’ll need to make. Also consider the annual snowfall in your area and how ‘packable’ it is. Choosing a snowblower…

Honda Snowblowers are powerful workers, as are all other products from Honda. Honda is one of the biggest names in the automobile and electrical manufacturing industry. The company is a top provider of automobiles, motorcycles, and outdoor power equipment. The company currently has a wide array of generators, lawnmowers, pumps, tillers, trimmers, snow blowers, and accessories for these same products.

A Closer Look at Honda Snowblowers
Honda snowblowers are impressively loaded with a wide array of breakthrough features that can deliver superior snow clearing performance whatever snow conditions you may be faced with. Honda currently offers four series of snow blowers, ranging from lightweight basic models to heavy and powerful snow workers. These snow blowers can tackle anywhere from light snow to even the heaviest snow level. The important thing is to find the best model for your snow profile. If your snow clearing needs are quite basic, single-stage Honda snowblowers will do the trick. Honda single-stage models are lightweight, easy to operate, easy to store, and can handle mild to moderate snow coverage with no problem at all. If you have bigger snow clearing needs, the two-stage snow blowers may be what you need. These heavy-duty snow blowers are still flexible and adjustable but are designed to plow through the heaviest snow coverage thanks to the common serrated augers featured in all the two-stage models. Honda now offers ten different models under these series, with all models meeting CARB and EPA emission requirements.

Honda HS520A and HS520AS: Size Does Not Matter
The HS520A is a basic single-stage snow thrower from Honda. It comes in a lightweight and compact design that's easy to store and to maneuver.

Snowblower Safety Tips..

2009-03-14T21:05:00.000-07:00

Snowblower and lawnmower accidents account for many severe injuries every year, including loss of fingers and toes, deep cuts, burns, crushed and broken bones. Injuries occur to all age groups but most people affected by these types of injuries are between twenty five and sixty. Here are some basic tips to make sure you are not among them!

Basic Safety Tips

Always read the manual and make sure you know the operating procedures before you even start up your snowblower. Never drink alcohol or take any medication that can impair your judgment before you operate a snowblower, or any other machine. Make sure any safety guides, shields or switch guards are in place and never remove them. Check with your manual for any further information on the safety features of your particular model. When operating the snowblower keep hands and feet away from any moving parts and always ensure that children and pets are at a safe distance. This is particularly important for snowblowers as they can take up and propel small objects a long way at a high speed.

Do not leave the machine running unattended, even for a brief time, always shut off the engine completely. Fill up the gas tank when the engine is cold, never when it is running or hot.

Do not wear loose clothes as they can easily become tangled in moving parts. Snowblowers vary considerably in the noise they make. Electric snowblowers are quiet but gas powered models can be very noisy. It is a good idea to have a pair of ear protectors for use with your snowblower and other machines, such as lawn tractors.

Snowblowers can easily become fouled by twigs and other debris. Do not use your hands to clear the auger or discharge chute. Use a broom handle or other stick. If you know heavy snow is predicted, clearing the area of loose material before it is covered by the snow will make snow clearing much easier.
Snowblowers with gasoline engines have the same risks as other machines so treat them accordingly. Gasoline engines produce toxic fumes so never run the snowblower in an enclosed space, your garage for instance. If you must test out the machine do it in an open area. Store gasoline in approved cans only in a safe place away from the hands of small children.

For electric snowblowers care must be taken to keep the cord away from the moving parts. Always use a cord designed for outdoor use and an outlet that has ground fault interrupting protection.

Maintenance of your Snowblower

Always do a thorough check of your machine at the start of the winter, before the first snow. Gas powered snowblowers need more maintenance than electric models and require the same types of maintenance as your car engine. The oil level and spark plug must be checked regularly and the oil changed at least once a year before the first use of the winter. Check the cord on an electric snowblower. See that it is not frayed or damaged and replace if necessary.

Make sure you do not have to visit the emergency room this coming winter by following all the safety rules!
