Consumer Two Stage Buyer's Guide

A consumer grade two-stage snow blower will provide dependable performance without a lot of frills.

But that doesn’t mean you have to settle for a bare-bones model just because you don’t want to break the bank.

Consumer grade two-stage snow blowers offer a number of upgraded features.

Here are some of the features found on consumer grade two-stage snow blowers:



Snow Blower HeadlightHeadlight
A halogen headlight will light up your path if you end up snow blowing after dark. Headlights are either mounted directly into the operator console itself, or attached to the operator console.

About half of the consumer grade models we offer have a headlight.

Snow Blower Chute DeflectorRemote Deflector Control
This handy feature allows the operator to move the angle of the deflector on the discharge chute up and down from behind the operator controls, eliminating the need to walk around the snow blower to make this adjustment.

Reduce blowing snow and direct snow more accurately by adjusting the deflector up and down.

Chute Style
Chute StyleConsumer grade two-stage snow blowers offer two methods of adjusting (aiming) the discharge chute – a basic crank or a lever. Both types can be controlled from behind the operator controls. A crank style control is just what it sounds like – you will turn a handle on a control arm to rotate the discharge chute from left to right and back again.

The lever-type control is more desirable, as it gives you more precise control over the direction that snow is being discharged,
and it requires far less effort to maneuver the discharge chute.

Interlocking Controls
Interlocking Snowblower ControlsThis highly desirable feature allows the operator to “lock down” one of the two control handles – freeing one hand to adjust speeds or control the discharge chute and deflector while the snow blower is still moving.

This feature is a HUGE time-saver, and well worth the added cost on your new consumer grade two-stage snow blower.
