While compiling this review, we spent hours looking into the significant elements that we think one should look for in the right Husqvarna snow blower. They include horsepower, clearing width, throw distance, and weight. Below is an explanation of each feature.
Horsepower
Before we get further with this feature, what’s horsepower anyway? This is a term that you’ll often hear people throwing around while speaking about engines or automotive. Well, horsepower, in simple terms, is the rate at which work is done. Is horsepower often confused with cubic centimeters (cc)? Yes. As much as these two are different – and we’re not going to get into many details here, there is a small correlation between them. The higher the cc, the more the horsepower. That said, why should you consider a strength? The answer is simple; everything you’re going to do revolves around it. So, the amount of work you’ll be using your snow blower to handle should lead.
As much as most of Husqvarna models can handle snow pretty well, they all have different horsepower. For instance, the Husqvarna ST330 has more considerable horsepower when compared with Husqvarna ST224P. Meaning that the latter can get lots of snow done in no time than the former. Once you know what you want to do with your snow blower, always check the horsepower to see whether it’s equal to the task.
Clearing width
The next thing you want to consider is the clearing width. Again, where do you intend to use your unit? Is it on walk paths, driveways, backyards, or where exactly? Being sober with such things will help you make the right decision when it comes to clearing width. The best Husqvarna snow blower for you should satisfy your clearing width needs.
That may save you 10 minutes or so. If you’re looking for Husqvarna snow blower with a large clearing width, then we have reviewed two that you can consider. Our Editor’s Choice Husqvarna ST330 or the one that comes second on the list, Husqvarna ST430T. Both have 30 inches clearing width if you missed that part.
Throw distance
The throwing distance of any snow blower matters, and you can’t assume. Before you decide on this feature, you should be aware of the size of the area you’d like to clear. We’ve some people complain about a unit throwing too far into their neighbors’ compounds. On the contrary, others complain that whatever they have does not throw as far as they’d like. Such comments are a clear indication that these guys did not pay attention to the throw distance of the units they purchased. For instance, the Husqvarna ST330 throws up to 20 plus feet. Some of the products we’ve reviewed do not specify this feature. We would advise you to find out from the manufacturer or the relevant people before you buy one.
Weight
Weight is a feature that people seem not to talk much about. The truth is it’s one of those things that you must consider.
. Second, what’s the nature of the snow that you’ll be clearing? What about the place you live? Are there hills to climb with the snow blower? Something else to ask yourself is how you’ll be storing the unit. All these questions should help you decide on the weight of the machine to buy. The best Husqvarna snow blower for you will be one weighing what you can comfortably handle. For those looking for a heavy unit, maybe the Husqvarna ST430T will best fit you.
