Snow blower and how to choose the right one: a list of models, brands - Setafi

Most regions of the Russian Federation are characterized by a large amount of snow in winter. Despite to hit brings a lot of positive emotions to children and adults, it needs to be cleaned up.

The higher the level of precipitation, the more difficult the cleaning process. It will not be superfluous to purchase a snow blower. Compared to a conventional shovel, there is no load on the back.

What you need to know before buying a snow blower

Before buying a snow blower, you need to clearly determine, What challenges will he have to face? After all, each model has its own set of parameters and criteria. Therefore, give a clear definition of which option is suitable for a summer residence or a home., impossible.

In one case, the area of ​​snow cover is large. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to models with the possibility of independent movement.

In a different – the driveway to the garage needs to be cleared. The cheapest device will cope with this task.

For owners of walk-behind tractors, it is enough to buy a nozzle. After that you can fully clear a huge space. The power embedded in the walk-behind tractor will allow you to do this quickly and qualitatively.

Choice depending on the amount of snow

As we have already said, the choice of a snow blower should be based on an assessment of the scope of work. Therefore, it is first necessary to understand, how oftento and How often will it be cleaned?

pad menher 50 square meters can be cleared with an electric snow blower. The price is less than 10 thousand rubles.

With a snow cover of 15-25 cm, such an aggregate will cope with cleaning, but it will be difficult for him. And if the snow level reaches dO 30 cm, then the task will fail.

Therefore, in the latter case, it is necessary to use gasoline snow blowers. Compared to electric models, it will be possible to make the following conclusione: withThe special design of the bucket allows you to remove a layer of snow over 40 cm. And some cleaners will cope with half a meter depth.

Also, pay attention to the petrol version., when the cleaning area exceeds 100 m2.

Influence of snow type on choice

Most models are designed for cleaning soft snow. A plastic screw is installed on them, which does not withstand heavy loads. When compressed snow or ice gets on it, the service life is reduced, inevitably bringing the time to replace the part closer.

Therefore, snow blowers are produced with a metal auger that has a rubber coating.

So that cleaning wet or compressed snow does not cause discomfort, gasoline self-propelled models are used. They have a power of more than 5 hp.

Because of thato hthen the non-self-propelled unit will have to be pushed, resisting heavy, dense and viscous snow, This will result in an increased load on the engine. And this will not reflect well on his condition.

Autonomy of work

If you have decided on the engine (gasoline, diesel or electric), then you need to think about autonomy. This means that it can work without being connected to power sources.

If cleaning will take only half an hour a day, then a battery-powered snow blower is the best option. This model is slightly more expensive than the electric one. However, don't think about:

• wire length,
• cable section,
• possibility of wire damage.

To ensure autonomy, it is possible to install an attachment on a walk-behind tractor or a mini-tractor. This will result in a cheap device thatoh does a better job.

Manufacturersto her

In modern realities, buying equipment from a well-known brand does not give any guarantees. In fact, Honda or Daewoo snowplows turn out to be worse than ToChinese or RRussian technology.

Besides, The duration of the snow blower depends on the operating conditions. If a good and high-quality device is not properly maintained or forced to remove unsuitable snow, then it will not last long.

Even RRussian models of firms Caliber or Interskol will serveb twell, like a top brand cleaner. One condition – competent service.

You can evaluate this or that device on specialized forums. There are many reviews and detailed reviews. Onlye, should be treated with caution. Most of them are written for pay.

Purchasing additional equipment can seriously hit the family budget. Therefore, the choice of a snow blower must be approached with all responsibility.
