    All I can say is that if you live in an area that receives a lot of snow, or you have a long driveway or many paths to make, then go for the horsepower and a machine with at least a 28" or 33" cutting width. I have a 13 HP Yardman, and I have never had a problem with a clog chute even in wet snow because the power is there to push it out.

    Buying a decent used snow blower is the best solution for most people in my mind. They will all require work, even the best kept ones, but the cost to purchase and maintain is low. Most of the local ones I see for sale are two-stage, and when talking to people a lot say they get rid of them due to the weight/storage size rather then them not working well.
    That being said I just got a Toro battery powered single stage as my first snow blower after hurting myself late last year snow clearing by hand. Haven't used it, just wanted to get ahead of the first snow-fall rush, but it ticked the boxes for what looks like a decent snow blower for my driveway and sidewalk. I can use the batteries for the Toro chainsaw I have and once done with it don't need to worry about another engine to maintain and store. I also like that it is light, and can fold up, up enough to fit in my hatchback so I can take it help my older mom at her house after a lot of snow. Hopefully the reviews were right and it works well in the coming winter!

      Thanks -- I'm enjoying reading all the comments, as I'm a homeowner in IL with a long, curving driveway with very STEEP spots that our HOA's snowplows miss *constantly*, leaving icy patches galore. The last things we need are to pay for a poorly done job and to have to wrestle a heavy machine up and down the driveway. Sounds like a single stage will have to do us.

I had a great single stage I gave to my sister to use but she doesn't like it's 60 years old and is not user friendly. My 38 year old toro is the best in most snow levels and types but the engine size is 3.5 Hp. I just bought a cordless power shovel to do quick clean ups to steps and sidewalks. Getting to old to work on snow. Always buy name brand units for easy part purchases in the future. Time to move South. Thanks Ginja.

    Two things: one thing to consider when it comes to size. Can I fit a 26” unit between the cars parked in my driveway? Maybe a 24 is just fine then... also, look up the “impeller modification”. Basically you attach mud flaps to each of the 3 impeller blades (2 and 3 stage obviously) so it physically sweeps the inside of the barrel. You’ll never get an ice clog in there again and it’ll throw almost water slush all day long. Worth it.

    Let me tell you the snowmaster single stage is amazing. It's all about the wheels being SELF-PROPELLED not necessarily the stages Toro has proven that so has UA-cam. It actually removes more snow and throws it just as far as the two stages. It does 2,800 lb of snow versus the other ones that are 2,000 that are two stage..
    You wouldn't think a single stage self-propelled would be that great but it's amazing.
    There's a guy on UA-cam that removes snow for a living in Ontario Canada I think. Gets way more snow than we get..
    HE USES THE SNOWMASTER 824.
    IT WILL DO ANYTHING I MEAN ANYTHING!! AND IT'S SO MUCH FASTER THAN A REGULAR TWO-STAGE..
    It's also very light.. So you don't need a reverse. The self-propelled makes it so easy. So quick.
    HE CLEAR SNOW UP TO 2 FT 300 TIMES A YEAR!! It's so many times because he does tons of properties.
    He's had it for 6 years 7 years something like that He's never done any maintenance and the things still works perfectly.. He said The gas lasts so long more than any other one..
    Truly amazing.. I thought he was just a regular dude showing snow blower videos but he's doing it for a living..
    His UA-cam channel is. OLDLENN
    Check it out you'll be surprised what the snowmaster can do.. I didn't think it was going to be that great.. But Was unbelievable at what was able to remove.

    I've got one of those 20yo massive 2-stage electric start self-propelled beasts, it is very clunky, loud, and breaks a lot(had to replace or rebuild most of it over the years of maintenance) so when I was having carb trouble last winter again and finally the starter quit(which there is no way you can pull start it in the cold until the machine has time to warm up from running) I set it aside and got a battery powered single stage! which I had doubts about it doing my 86 squares of sidewalk(most people only have like 12 to do) and good sized dual lane driveway, but hey, it works ....sure it is not self-propelled, doesn't like slush, and takes longer chipping away on deep snow(and a few battery swaps) but in the whole scheme of things(storage, moving it around, smell, noise; and no maintenance, oil, fuel, or 'starting' issues) it is much simpler and just easy to get the job done, esp considering that most of the time I'm never clearing more than a few inches of snow and just need it done quick ...so there clearly are other options than "buying the biggest one you can afford" that everyone else says(cause I've been there and done that) and instead I would say to "get the smallest easiest one that gets the job done 90% of the time for the ¼ of year you have to use it" as I'm not interested in having my life revolve around owning, working on, and using a snowblower year round anymore

  • @barrymiracle1933
    @barrymiracle1933 3 роки тому +1

    I have had snowblowers for over 30 years and I learned a few things. One, gas engines hate to not be run, they just become hard to start. You can help by using stabilizer in the gas and run out the gas, and frequent maintenance. In the end, these just break down much more often then mowers or other engines that get run a lot. I recently gave up on gas and have gone to a Toro 60v single stage. OMG, this little single stage cuts through and throws snow better than any snow blower I ever have had in the past. Deep snow no problem. Plowed in driveway, this little electric has vastly more torque than any gas. I recommend skip the gas and go with cordless. No maintenance. No hard starting. Fantastic torque. Super light weight. Only negative is they are narrow and most are not self-propelled.

    Sweet video, but here’s my 2 cents. I’ve owned the rubber single stage it worked ok on dry snow not so good in the wet stuff. I wore it out in two years very disappointed. I then bought the big boy three stage. I love it and I would recommend spending the money and getting one that can handle the work. Also at the end of the year make sure you leave no gass in the unit or run some stabilizer through it or you will eventually gum up your carburetor. Merry Christmas buddy!

    What's your thought on the corded snow blowers like a Snow Joe? Considering one, as we get maybe 1-2 snows of 4-6 inches a season. Shoveling is getting harder every year, and its always heavy wet snow. Thanks.

    • @pestandlawnginja
      @pestandlawnginja  4 роки тому

      They work well for 1 to 4" of snow. works well for small driveways. The issue is the width and height of the machine. I'm not entirely sure which one you're looking at but they're commonly very small

    • @angrygaragemechanic

  • @richardaquino1640
    @richardaquino1640 Місяць тому

    One thing to consider is if you decide on a 2 or 3 stage it requires a lot more service so your going to spend more money to service it as opposed to a single stage but you can learn how to do it yourself to save yourself a lot of money.

    Very Through Review and explanation of all the differences in each type Ginja! So what would you recommend for the 31" of Snow I just got in upstate NY over night? LMAO. True for the 31" but just kidding, I have a 30" 2 stage Arien's Pro with a 13HP motor on it and drift cutters, it chewed through that 31" like butter, even the 6 foot bank at the end of the drive from the plows! I think you hit the nail on the head when you said it really all depends on how much snow you get and make sure to buy appropriately! My Ariens is now 16 years old and still like brand new,. So your saying of buy once cry once is spot on. As always I appreciate all your vids. Merry Christmas to you and your family from ours! Peace and God's Love! Chad Upstate NY

    I notice on most of these videos they all talk about the convenient features and how user friendly the controls are. That's all fine and dandy when everything is working, but how long will all those flimsy cables and plastic parts last? And none of them never seem to address the thickness and durability of the metal frame and auger housing. The old ones were thick and tough and made to last for many years. Many of the new ones however, seem to be very thin and cheaply made. I don't see them addressing that fact. You need to go look at them in person and see just what kind of quality you're spending your money on.
