3 Features To Consider In A Snowblower

9 February 2017 by Eugene Kelley

A snowblower can be your best friend during the winter months, mostly because of how much easier it can make it to deal with the large amounts of snow that can pile up on your driveway or on your walkways. Listed below are three features to consider in a snowblower that will make your snowblower that much more useful.

Auger

One of the most difficult parts about dealing with the snow on your property is that once the snow gets compacted down or turns into ice, it can be much more difficult to deal with. Once the ice and packed snow show up, a standard snowblower or snow shovel may not be all that effective at removing the snow and ice. As a result, one of the features that you will want to consider if you want to be prepared from packed snow and ice is an auger on your snowblower.

When you have an auger installed on your snowblower, as you push the snowblower across the snow and ice, the blades of the auger will actually cut into the packed snow and ice and break it down into smaller chunks. Once the snow and ice are broken down, the snowblower can then suck in smaller pieces of snow and ice and launch them into the rest of your yard, which makes cleaning up the snow and ice quite a bit easier.

Heated Grips

Another feature to consider when buying a snowblower or snowthrower is heated grips. This is important because even if you have a snowblower or snowthrower, you are still going to have to spend a fair amount of time outside in order to effectively clear the snow and ice from your walkways or driveway, which can be fairly unpleasant in the dead of winter. With heated grips on your snowblower or snowthrower, you can ensure that your hands will stay nice and warm so that you can complete the job without any unnecessary discomfort.

Auto Adjustment

Finally, you will want to consider purchasing a snowblower or snowthrower that has an auto adjustment feature. The reason for this is that you do not want to have to stop every time you get to a section of your walk or driveway that has higher or lower snow and take the time to manually adjust the machine. If you have an auto adjustment feature on your snowblower or snowthrower, the machine itself will automatically adjust to the necessary height and width to accommodate the next section that needs to be cleared of snow and ice without you needing to stop or really do anything at all.

Drop by your local home improvement store, such as Wagoner Power Equipment, today in order to see the wide range of snowblowers and snowthrowers that are available to you. An auger, heated grips, and auto adjustment are all very useful features to consider when you are thinking about buying a snowblower or snowthrower.
