Winter is almost upon us, meaning we get to swap out one set of seasonal power equipment for another. It's out with the mowers and in with the snow blowers, which would be simpler if there weren't as many choices in this line of machinery as the rest. While the world of snow blowers is vast, the friendly sales professionals at Englewood, OH's Wagoner Power Equipment will be happy to point you in the right direction. There are just a few general categories you need to keep in mind before you're ready to take on the season at maximum power. 

The best way to break down your snow blower decision is to take a look at some of the available options, including: 

• Single-Stage: Think of a single-stage snow blower as a machine that only throws the snow a single time. With the help of a gas-powered engine, the auger contacts the ground grabs a scoop of snow and sends it out the chute. These are best for those dealing with a typically low height of snow, and should not be used on gravel surfaces. 
• Two-Stage: The stages of these units are one, scooping snow and ice; and two, throwing it out the chute with a high-speed impeller. Since the auger doesn't touch the ground, two-stage snow blowers are safe for use on concrete and gravel, and they're much more suitable for deep snow conditions. 

Once you consider the amount of snow and ice you'll be facing, you'll be able to move on to choosing the right blower within that grouping.
