SINGLE-STAGE

In a single move, the paddle pulls snow into the thrower and pushes it out the discharge chute. These units are lightweight, maneuverable, easy to use and best for:

-Clearing small driveways, walkways and patios

-Paved surfaces

-Powdery, light to moderate snow

-Less than 6" of snowfall (per clearing)

DUAL-STAGE

These units perform two moves:

1)the auger breaks up snow, churning it into the impeller;

2)the impeller pushes it out of

the discharge chute. They provide quick removal of large amounts of snow and are best for:

-Clearing medium to extra-large driveways, walkways and patios

-Paved or gravel surfaces

-Powdery to moderate and wet to heavy snow

-More than 6" of snowfall (per clearing)
