Nice 4-Cycle Snow Blower
By Jon Hoch, Founder (Bolingbrook, IL)
I personally owned the older version of this Yard Machines snow blower for 6 winters.

Frankly, I'd rather have this model because it features a 4-cycle (instead of 2-cycle) engine.

Most single-stage snow blowers have 2-cycle engines. You need to mix the gas and oil together before filling the gas tank.

The extra step is a real hassle, especially when your fingertips are getting frostbite in the process.

The new single-stage Yard Machines feature 4-cycle engines instead. Just like your lawn mower, you pour gasoline in the gas tank. And, engine oil goes in the engine.

Yes, you can buy cheaper snow blowers, but you'll be really disappointed with their performance in wet snow. The electric start feature is an added plus.

What Happens When You Don't Snow Blow
By Jon Hoch, Founder (Bolingbrook, IL)
When the first snow of the season came, I did nothing.

That’s right. I founded a snow blower web site, and I neglected to use my own snow blower.

Why? It was a small storm with only 3 inches of snow. Like a lot of my neighbors, I assumed that it would melt away in a day or two.

Unfortunately, it didn’t. Instead, it thawed. It froze. Then it snowed again… and again… and again.

In the meantime, my car compressed the snow into a massive glacier on my driveway.

The neighborhood kids trampled through it like a herd of elephants. My sidewalk was a mess with frozen, icy footprints covered with freshly fallen snow.

I just spent nearly two hours chipping, shoveling and salting my sidewalk and driveway. It wasn’t fun.

My neighbor, on the other hand, took a few minutes to snow throw instead. As a result, his sidewalk is clean and clear. Just look at the difference.

Proof positive that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

How to Adjust a Single-Stage Scraper Blade
By Jon Hoch, Founder (Bolingbrook, IL)
MTD Yard Machines (21") 179cc Electric Start Single-Stage Snow Blower
 
If your single-stage snow blower isn't clearing all the snow from the surface, you simply need to adjust the scraper blade.

The scraper blade, which is made of hardened rubber or plastic, is located underneath the snow blower and between the wheels.

It acts as a backboard, forcing the snow off the ground and into the auger.

Eventually, the constant contact with the ground will wear it down, resulting in a thin film of snow behind the snow blower.

You can adjust the scraper blade by loosening a the bolts and slightly pulling it down.

Eventually, you'll need to purchase a replacement. But, it's a whole lot cheaper than buying a new snowblower.

How to Buy a Half-Priced Snow Blower
By Chad Meyerott (Plainfield, IL)
You can shop online until you're silly, trying to shave a few dollars off the price.

But, if you really want to slash your cost in half, you simply need to... share.

That's right. You need to share. A simple kindergarden lesson saved me nearly $250 and cut my snowblowing time in half.

Several years ago, I moved into a new subdivision. I didn't own a snowblower. Neither did my new neighbor.

Our lots weren't huge, so we both debated on getting a snow blower one autumn afternoon while the kids played outside.

Then it dawned on us. We kept lecturing the kids about sharing. As adults, we didn't practice what we preach.

Why should we both buy a snowblower? Why not share one?

The idea seemed a little radical, especially to our wives. But, it actually worked.

We split the cost for the snow blower. Each year, we took turns storing it during the summer.

We also alternated snow blowing each others driveway. Since our lots were small, it took more time to get dressed than it did to snow blow another driveway.

We shared a Yard Machines snowblower for without a single issue for six years.

Proof positive that men can still share power tools in a civil manner.
