Cub cadet snow thrower

A snowthrower is a piece of outdoor power equipment designed to clear snow from the ground. Outdated models of snow throwers are often called "sno-vacs," or "snow vacuums," because they feature a large rotating impeller that whirls and throws the snow in front of it. More recent models are called "snow blowers." They lack the rotating impeller and use an auger instead, working like a drill with blades on its side to break up ice and compacted snow, throwing it out in a narrow cone before being sucked into an air flow or vacuum cleaner. The auger can be used for raking as well.

The first snow throwers were big, slow-moving machines that were hard to steer, difficult to start, and didn't throw snow very far or very fast. Most models were two or four wheeled with engines mounted on the back. More modern machines are powered mostly by an electric motor and today have many advantages over older models. Snow throwers have been getting smaller and more powerful over the years while becoming easier to use and maintain. Snow blowers are available in different sizes designed for clearing driveways, sidewalks, patios, roofs and walks.

Benefits

A snow thrower is a machine that finishes clearing snow in a shorter period of time than shoveling. It works by using the power of water and air to blow or suck the snow, rinse it off and remove it. The snow thrower has been seen as an expensive type of machinery, but with proper maintenance, it will last for a long period of time. The machine can be used to clear all types of surfaces like sidewalks, patios and driveways.

Types of Snow Throwers

There are many types of snow throwers. Some of the most common ones include:

Gas powered snow throwers: These throwers are powered by a small lawn mower engine and use a small electric motor to engage the auger.

The larger ones are capable of handling larger quantities of snow while the smaller ones are more suited for lighter assignments.
