The track design is superior to wheels. Provides better traction. (Amazon)
A two stage snow blower is a tool designed to tackle the toughest winters. Year after year homeowners are ill-prepared for the sheer volume of snow that falls. Well, if you live in Florida, this doesn’t apply to you. As you know, winter weather is becoming more and more unpredictable. If you live a region where heavy snow is guaranteed to fall then a two stage snow blower is what you need. A single stage snow blower is only adequate for snow under 8″ deep.
We’re moving into an El Niño winter which means it will be even more unpredictable than other years. Some areas of the USA will likely experience milder temperatures (Pacific Northwest) but in colder regions, your chances of massive snowstorms is higher during an El Nino year.
