Snow removal engine

There are two tasks in front of the engine of a snowmail:

1. Work even with a strong frost.
2. It is powerful enough to recycle ice and blind snow.

The car is more powerful, the better for its owner. The current technique has a capacity of 3 to 15 horsepower. If the power of the machine is less than these numbers, then it will not be able to remove the snow. The performance of technology is dependent on the capacity, the more horsepower, the sooner you will handle the scope of work:

1. Snow removal equipment for home, in which the power is more than 10 hp refer to professional. Such machines are clearing a football field or parking. Their price is appropriate - from 65 thousand rubles.
2. Technique with a capacity of up to 10 hp Suitable for home and cottage, it is not for every day.
3. Technique with a capacity of up to 5 hp Suitable for clearing tracks, they have no drive on the wheels.

In addition to power, engines vary on gasoline and electric. The choice depends on what territory to be removed. Snow removal equipment for the house with a gasoline engine is larger, so it takes it to clearing the large territories. In gasoline technology there is a powerful steel auger, large wheels that provide better permeability and clutch.

The snow removal equipment for the house has a power in 2000 W, so they are used for the territory near the house.

Wheels or caterpilts

Snow removal equipment is self-propelled and non-intended, which moves through a person. It is small and usually buy it in cases where there is no place to keep self-propelled technique, which has large sizes. The price of noncommet technique is about 25 thousand rubles.

The advantages of non-intelligence equipment:

• there is a rubberized auger that does not affect the decorative coating of the tracks on the site;
• relatively low price;
• work in hard-to-reach places;
• the bucket width varies from 50 to 90 cm;
• small dimensions allow us to transport and store equipment without problems;
• low weight - up to 35 kg.

Self-propelled technique, in turn, is also divided into the one that is on a wheeled down, and the one that is on the tracked. More expensive and powerful - tracked. It is worth such an aggregate, ranging from 85 thousand rubles. If there is no need for tracked snow removal equipment for the house, then boldly take the wheeled, according to reviews it is more maneuverable, and it is much less.

The advantages of self-propelled technology:

• no need to make physical efforts in work;
• large snow ejection;
• you can process ice and iced snow;
• work at large sites;
• bucket width up to 90 cm;
• maneuverability.

Snowflower dimensions

The most important dimensions at the snow blower are the enabarits of capture. What it is wider, the more the area is processed for one circle. The ratio between the capacity and enabarits of the capture is equally important. For example, if the capture is about half a meter, then the engine is required with a capacity of 5 hp If a snowplow with a fascination with a more meter, then you need an engine with 15 hp, but such a car will cost expensive.

If you need to remove a large area every day, for example, the parking for cars, then you need to choose technique with a wide grip, and then the costs will justify yourself in a week.

As for the height of the capture, it is almost the same in all models - about half a meter. If you need to remove higher drifts, then knives are attached for this. But they are not all the equipment. If there are no knives, they can be done by themselves, they look like an ordinary metal plate, are inserted into the mounting holes.

Engine start type type

The engine is started in two ways:

1. Manually.
2. Electric starter.

On all models, a manual starter is installed to make the car, you need to pull the handle on yourself. In more expensive models there is an electric starter, which in turn is divided into:

• battery operating;
• operating from the electrical network.

The rechargeable starter is not practical, especially in a heavy frost. May be discharged at any inappropriate time. Another thing starter from the outlet is enough to include it in the network, start and you can turn off and go to work. If it stalls in a place where there is no socket, then it is possible to run it again while a hot engine can be used with a kick starter.
