Looking at your driveway, you don't have anywhere near 1.5' of snow. LOL Looks like 5-7 inches at most.

I love this, so nice to do your neighbors. I finally bought a snow blower in Jan 2023 when we had record breaking snow in Utah. I always end up doing the neighbors too and sometimes all the way around the block, I don't mind at all. I bought the Craftsman 208CC gas from Lowe's, 24", two-stage, it's a beast. Nice video! I'm impressed with this battery powered Ego!

FINALLY The first snow blow video where he clears from the center to the outside. Maximizes forward motion ONLY and minimizes FOOLING with the chute orientation. Intellect prevails.

@oakwhittler4851 10 ай бұрын
Yes, clearing from the center to the outside is smart. However, very often the WIND determines the clearing pattern. If the wind is too strong you have to blow in the wind direction. On the other hand, clearing from the center is essential in TRUE heavy wet snow, because the machine is too weak to throw that type of snow all the way across the driveway.

I bought my EGO single-stage snowblower based largely on videos like this one that claim that these machines can blow HEAVY, WET snow. Let me correct that misstatement. If you can make this claim, you don't know what heavy, wet snow actually is. In the Northeast we rarely see dry snow or much snow that looks like what you're blowing in this video. The norm here, especially in the last decade, is VERY heavy, wet snow, and the EGO single-stage snowblower is no match for it, it's close to useless. In truly wet snow, the maximum throw distance is literally about 5 feet, but it's more likely that you will find yourself stopping every minute to clear a big plug of solidified snow out of the chute (even if you lubricate the chute, as I do), until you give up and get your shovel. I own this machine and 9 times out of 10 we get snow that is very difficult to impossible for it to handle. Viewers, watch these videos critically. He says over and over that this is heavy, wet snow. It's nothing compared to what we get in the Northeast. You need to match your snowblower choice to your local conditions.

Thank you for your comment!!! I am in NY and trying to find a proper snowblower or snow shovel for my elderly 85 year old father and I have no idea what to buy. Do you have any suggestions? Did you get any replacement for the single stage? I actually thought he was using a 2 stage in the video.
@oakwhittler4851
@oakwhittler4851 10 ай бұрын
@@alouise3557 I don't think an 85-year-old should have to do his own snow removal. However, I know that plowing is expensive and it's near impossible to hire teenagers to do any physical work these days. I suggest calling a social service agency and asking about local resources to help your father. I have not replaced my EGO single stage. There is an EGO two stage. It's much heavier and more expensive but has self-propulsion.

@@oakwhittler4851 My father is OCPD and refuses to allow anyone to work on his house/property because he's convinced they will not do as good of a job as he can. When he worked as a carpenter, he always believed he did the better job than anyone else (OCPD). I decided that whatever snow gadget I gave him he would find something wrong with it so I got him a different gift instead for Christmas. He didn't like that either so I'll be returning it. Thank you though. I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

I got the EGO SNT2125AP. With the rubber auger with assist and heated handles. I live in metro Detroit and did 2 large driveways that were iced over. I got good throw distance. I was able to clear the mess at the end of the driveway. I just bought the EGO chute cleaner too however the chute has not clogged yet. I got the model as I was worried about the uneven bricks I would run into plus it seems like upgraded model. For single stage I am good so far with the storm that just hit. With iced over snow a couple days later. Also there is an APP called Shovlr and it's basically an app to higher people quickly to clear your driveway. Or just call around your local area. 85 year old should be chilling no matter how stubborn. There is too many heart attacks from shoveling or any work outside in winter.

Remember to start in the middle of your driveway too so you are not having to change chute direction. Just start in center and keep going in a circle

Well, it looks like that you like listening to your own speech. Now you have 2 minutes left to show what you have done. Don't use plastic skid plates, they go down as fast as the scaper. The scaper is worn because it was too low and that piece should be metal and not plastic. My guess, correct me if I am wrong, but that blower is made in China. It is good as long as you don't use it. Now go out and see how fast those skids wear and afterwards you can make another video!

You might want to consider a Toro snowmaster. I believe they do offer that with a cordless electric motor now. The snowmaster is a single stage snowblower but actually does have skid shoes and also has engine power going to the wheels in utilizes the personal pace system Toro uses on their lawn mowers.

The travel limitation of pen springs is so that when the front end becomes unweighted at steep climb angles the pen spring will actually pull the body back down towards the wheels and help prevent rolling over.
