John Deere Snow Blower Guide

John Deere makes some of the best consumer and professional equipment around, including snow blowers. When you have a yard that accrues mounds of snow during the winter season, a John Deere snow blower can be a huge help. These machines are designed to pick up snow along their path and blow it out of the way. Powered by a gasoline engine designed for cold-weather use, these blowers come in two forms, one that gets pushed around and another which attaches to your John Deere tractor. All snow blowers are similar in several respects. For example, knowing if you need a single or double stage blower can be an important factor in the buying process for a John Deere snowblower.

Single And Double Stage

Snow blowers use up to two components to pick up and throw snow, an auger and an impeller. The auger is the screw-like part on the business end of the blower. Single stage models use an auger to pull snow off the ground and force it through a discharge chute. These blowers generally run on a 5-8 horsepower engine and have a clearing path of between one and two feet (generally 20-22 inches). These systems do not require as much power as a double stage, but require more passes to complete a job and don’t throw the snow as far. Homeowners that get less than 75 inches of snow per year do well with a blower of this power. The single stage models are perfect for clearing snow from driveways and sidewalks.

Double stage John Deere blowers are the next step up from the single stage. These models use an impeller combined with an auger to pick up and throw snow. First, the auger picks up the bulk of the snow, and then a powerful impeller blade sucks it up and forces it out through the discharge chute. Instead of just an auger doing the work, an impeller gives the machine an added kick to throw snow farther and pick up faster. Of course, more power is needed to do this, which is why these blowers pack a more powerful engine (around 8 horsepower). You can also expect to have a larger clearing path, resulting in less passes needed to cover a given area. All John Deere snow blowers are equipped with wide diameter, high tread wheels to make them easy to push through tough terrain. Models with an electric start make it easy to start up the engine even in cold weather.
