John Deere Single Stage Snowblower

John Deere Single Stage Snowblower - Snow Blower

Choosing a snowblower seems like a daunting task, but with a John Deere Single Stage Snowblower you'll have a powerful single-stage snow thrower. A single stage snowblower is not useful in cleaning a driveway after a decent snowstorm, but it is handy for cleaning a few inches of snow from sidewalks, patios and small parking areas.

Difference Between Single and Two-Stage Snowblowers

With a single-stage snow blower, the unit contains an auger. The duty of the auger is to spiral to break up the snow and then force it through the chute where it is thrown a short distance. The auger handles both the suction and discharge, so it must work twice as hard. Because it's working harder, the engine is less powerful and there is a limit on how much snow the machine can handle. Most snowblowers cannot handle more than six to eight inches.

With a two-stage snow blower, the unit has both an auger and an impeller. The auger grinds up the snow while the impeller sucks it into the chute and propels it out of the way. Because there are two components working together, the engine is more powerful and able to throw the snow farther.

Key Features of a John Deere Single Stage Snowblower

The John Deere Single Stage Snow Thrower comes with a two-year warranty when you use it around your home. If it is used for commercial purposes, the warranty drops to 90 days. The snowthrower offers a number of beneficial features. They include:

22-inch clearing path

CARB compliant

Folding handlebars for storage

Four-cycle Briggs & Stratton engine with push button electric start and backup recoil start

Seven-inch wheels

Snow chute rotates 190 degrees

Two-quart gas tank

The snowblower's engine is capable of throwing the snow a little more than five feet away. While this isn't going to help a homeowner with a wide driveway, it is a handy unit if you live in an apartment or condo where you simply have a parking space and sidewalk.

The John Deere Single Stage Snowblower is not good at handling heavy, wet snow. Light amounts of snow will suit it fine.
