Once again it's that time of year where the snowfall is deep and everyone's rushing to purchase a high quality snow blower but it you're one of those people that find yourself on a tight budget you might want to consider investing your money into used snowblowers. With so many brands available on the market you need to do some research before making that purchase. Used snowblowers can prove to be a good investment if you do your homework.
Snow blowers are available in mainly single stage, two-stage, and tractor or ATV driven blowers. Consider that you have to keep in mind that you should only get snow blowers that would suit the size of your driveway or lawn. If you have a smaller sized yard or driveway then you should go for used single stage blowers, these machines are designed for lightweight work around the house and are best suited to clear snow on flat surfaces and not a lawn.
For people that boast larger properties and yards the best suited choice for you would be two stage snow blowers that are designed with a snow crushing auger on the front that sucks up the ice and then spits it out through the discharge chute with the use of an impeller which can throw the snow at distances of up to 40 feet in some models. A large majority of two stage snow blowers are gas powered because they require more energy to perform heavy duty tasks but unfortunately these make a lot of noise. If you prefer something quieter some brands like Simplicity snowblowers and Snapper have two stage snow blowers available that are electrically powered.
ATV and tractor driven snow blowers are the most robust and powerful of all snow blowers, they are mainly used in the commercial snow blower sector and are also mainly used by farmers, municipalities, and companies that offer a snow clearing service. One of the best features of these atv and tractor snowblowers are that you can modify and customize them to do whatever you require due to their ability to have attachments installed on or taken off as and when you need it.
Aside from the different types of snow throwing machines available you also have to focus on buying only bands that are well recognized and have spare parts available in bulk at your local authorized dealer. Wear and tear is inevitable so invest in those spares like belts, augers, shear pins and impellers to name a few.
One of the first steps in finding good quality used snowblowers is to search at online websites that specialize in selling used outdoor equipment. Websites like Amazon, eBay; Wal-Mart, Gumtree and Craigslist are a good resource to searching for used outdoor snow throwers. Brands to keep an eye out for include Ariens, Toro, Yard Machine, White Outdoor, and MTD snow blowers. Two brands that are produced under the name of MTD are Simplicity snowblowers and Snapper.
These two makes specialize in offering affordable and durable cheap snowblowers that will serve you well. Always do your research and you'll find used snowblowers that may very well last you for years to come.
