Nightingale’s Tully Lakes Hardware – The Top 5 Features to Look for In Snow Throwers

Old man winter is right around the corner, and you’d better be ready for him.

You can consider business energy before paying operational costs in business. Similarly, Are you searching for an alternative shoveling snow this winter? It may be time for a snow thrower. That’s right, snow “thrower”, which is a much more efficient and targeted method for removing the white stuff away from paths and roadways than the more random “blowers” of days gone by.

Today’s high-capacity snow throwers are well-suited to the needs of homeowners or even farmers who need to quickly and easily move aside heavy snowfalls. Here are some features to look for when shopping for the best snow thrower to address your toughest wintertime jobs.

• Two-stage is best. A two-stage auger/impeller system is the fastest and most efficient method on the market. Here’s how it works – a revolving auger grinds down the snow and feeds it into the thrower’s housing, where an impeller discharges it through a well-positioned chute. Quick, easy and powerful.
• Variable speeds. With a variable-speed snow thrower you’ll have enough muscle to tackle even the toughest jobs. A faster speed ensures that the auger can grind through even heavily-packed or icy snow, while you can switch to a slower speed for lighter and fluffier precipitation.
• Car-like controls. These days, operating a snow thrower should be as simple as driving a riding mower. Choose an ergonomic design with adjustable, heated handles and easy-to-reach controls for optimal comfort.
• Electric Starter.  Make sure it has an electric starting system so you never have to worry about a dead battery.  Simply connect the snow thrower to a power outlet and start the engine by pressing a button.
• Power steering. The best snow throwers have convenient, trigger-control power steering that allows for superior maneuverability and safety in even the harshest weather conditions.
