!±8± Ventrac Tractor and Snow Blower Make Snow Removal Easier

In Deep Snow? Looking for your driveway? We all know that living in an area that is hit heavy with snow can get rough. Winter can throw us the toughest weather and we must find the best way to tackle it. Trying to plow, shovel and push through the snow without a good machine to help can feel like a monumental task, even if it is simply removing snow from the sidewalks. It's a physically demanding job to do by hand and a powerful tractor can help make winter snow clearing a whole lot easier.

There are a multitude of tractors and snow blowers on the market to help clear snow. And deciding on the one for you can be a daunting task. A tractor that really stands out in my mind as the ultimate snow tackling machine is the Ventrac compact tractor with a V-blade and snow blower attachment. Built with commercial grade components, these tractors and attachments are designed to be tough. And tough is what you need when winter comes along. You need a tractor and snow blower that will hold up to the rigors and challenges of winter weather. And I feel that Ventrac is just that tractor.

Several things make this tractor work well for clearing snow. The compact design makes the tractor small enough to fit nicely on sidewalks. No more clearing sidewalks with a shovel! The strong engine power of the Ventrac, as well as the all wheel drive traction, will help you push through mounds of snow you never thought possible. Attach a V-blade and the tractor will quickly clear your sidewalks of snow, saving you many hours of manual labor!

When your driveway is buried in snow, the snow blower attachment mounts on the front of the tractor so you can clearly see where you are going. This snow blower is a two stage system featuring a 220 degree rotational discharge chute designed to easily throw snow up to 40 feet in distance. Hydraulically controlled, it is extremely easy to operate and can be operated from the seat of the tractor for driver comfort. The tractor also has an optional cab for ultimate driver comfort in the nastiest weather...keeping you warm and dry!

I feel Ventrac is a fantastic machine that can make winter life more bearable and easier to handle. With power enough to take on tough work, yet compactly designed to fit tight spaces, it really is a dream to operate. No longer do you need to dread winter snow and wonder how to deal with tough weather conditions. One tractor will get more done and take less of your time doing it.

Snow Blowers 101: The Difference Between the 3 Types of Snow Blowers

!±8± Snow Blowers 101: The Difference Between the 3 Types of Snow Blowers

If you have already done some preliminary shopping then you know that snow blowers (also known as snow throwers) vary in price range. You can find the cheapest versions for just under 0 and the most expensive versions at over 00. On the cheaper side, these models are engineered to handle moderate snow conditions. The more expensive versions are heavy-duty models that are used in areas where there is heavy snowfall. When all is said and done, there are only two things that you need to consider before buying a snow blower: the amount of snow you expect to receive and the amount of space you have for storage.

Single-Stage Electric Snow Blowers

The single-stage electric blower is a blower that is both small and does not have any driven wheels. This particular blower actually uses a rubber-tipped auger that propels the machine along while picking up and throwing snow along the way.

This type of blower works best on level driveways that are not too long in length. This particular type of blower also works very well on decks and snow-covered walkways. This particular type of blower can handle snowfall that is less than four inches.

Single-stage electric blowers are lightweight, easy to store and easy to handle. One thing you should keep in mind is that this particular blower type has a power cord so you are somewhat limited in length.

Single-Stage Gas Snow Blowers

The gas-powered version of the single-stage snow thrower is more powerful than the electric version. As far as driveway size is concerned, this type of blower can handle mid-size level driveways. Just like the electric version, these blowers are good for decks and walkways. The gas-powered version can handle twice the amount of snow compared to the electric version - up to eight inches.

These blowers are light in weight, easy to store and very easy to handle. You will need both gas and oil to operate this type of blower but you won't have a power cord to deal with.

Two-Stage Gas Snow Blowers

Much like the single-stage blower, the two-stage gas snow thrower also uses a powerful auger to pick up and throw snow while moving. However, the two-stage unit has a fan-like impeller above the auger that throws the snow out of the chute on the "second" stage - hence the name "two-stage" blower.

This type of blower is much larger than the single-stage types. It should also be noted that the two-stage gas blower is wheel driven rather than auger-driven. And because of the size of these machines, they can easily sweep up to 30 inches of snow along with sweeping snow off steep slopes.

Conclusion

The single-stage electric snow blower, single-stage gas snow blower and two-stage gas snow blower all have their different advantages and disadvantages. The type that you should end up purchasing should depend on amount of snowfall and capacity of storage space.

And once you have decided which type to purchase, read all available snow blower reviews.
