Two Stage Snow Blowers
What is a two stage snow blower?
A two stage snow blower is a snow blower that has 2 ways of moving snow through the machine as opposed to just one. The first stage is the auger, just like in a single stage snow blower.
The second “stage” is an impeller, or a fan. It is located near the chute of the snow blower. The auger scoops up the snow, and then the impeller blows the snow out of the chute, this allows the snow to be thrown farther than it is with a single stage snow blower.
The auger of two stage snow blowers do not touch the ground. This means that they can be used on practically any terrain, such as gravel and rocks.
The downfall of this though, is that there will be a layer of snow/ice Cnsuperpower left over.
