The units can run on gasoline or electricity, move in a wheeled or tracked way. Gasoline models, due to their battery life and high performance, are more common, although they have two significant drawbacks: noisy operation (sometimes up to 110 dB) and air pollution by combustion products.

We have selected for you5 petrol wheeled snow plows with a width and height of capturing snow mass from 40 to 70 cm.

All models are self-propelled, that is, they are driven by a screw and wheels, and the screw itself is made of jagged metal, which allows it to easily deal with dense snowdrifts and even frozen ice.

Also, the auger mechanism is protected from overloads and jamming, and the height of the snow intake is regulated using special support plates located on the sides of the bucket.

A complete list of snow plows can be found in our catalog.

The east european manufacturer of construction tools and equipment Intertool has long been known not only at home, but also in neighboring countries, and even the USA. The SN-5500 snowplow will help out more than once in a snowy winter.

The machine has a 5.5 hp Loncin 4-stroke engine adapted to low temperatures with a capacity of 1700 cubic metres/hour. It is recommended to refuel the unit with grade 92 gasoline. The tank capacity is 3.6 liters, which is enough for 1.5 – 2 hours of operation.

In order for the motor to serve for a long time, the oil viscosity must be selected depending on the temperature regime in which the snowplow is planned to be operated, and the first replacement should be made after the first 5 hours of operation. If there is not enough oil in the engine, it will not start, so it is necessary to maintain the level at the maximum, which will help the float type control sensor.

The SN-5500 starts only from a manual starter. Stingy, but practical. The multi-stage gearbox (5 front, 2 rear) provides high manoeuvrability and makes snow removal possible even on slopes. Let's add here wide wheels with a deep tread and the ability to unlock the differential, which makes both wheels independent, we get a fairly performant assistant who can almost independently cope with breaking and cleaning dense snow crust.

To prevent the screw from breaking when solid objects get into it, it is attached to the shaft with special pins designed for cutting in case of jamming of the mechanism. If this happens, it is important to replace the cut pins with similar ones, since a stronger pin can cause the unit to break down.

The position of the bell for the release of snow can be adjusted within an angle of 180 ° and in height, which is why the range of departure of the mass varies between 10 – 15 m.

The height of the auger is also adjustable, but the process is not fast, there are special sleds on bolts at the bottom of the sides of the bucket for this purpose.

Intertool SN-5500 is a great option for owners of cottages and private houses. Perhaps not as reliable and convenient as cars of a similar class of imported brands, but three to four times cheaper (500 USD). And this is one of its key advantages.

The products of the German manufacturer of garden equipment AL-KO are a guarantee of high quality, reliability and productivity. For the SnowLine 620E snowplow model, you won't have to pay so much, about a thousand dollars, but the purchase will justify itself after the first snowfall.

Loncin OHV 4-stroke engine with a volume of 212 cc.cm and a power of 7 hp shows good performance at a moderate consumption of 1.62 liters / hour. The tank is not the most voluminous, only three liters, but it is enough for an hour and a half of intensive work. The engine can even run on 86 gasoline, but given the quality of east european fuels and lubricants, it is better to fill fuel with a higher octane number.

The car is started both manually, by a cable, and by an electric starter from the battery. 7 gears, 5 front and two rear, provide good speed and manoeuvrability.

The width of the processing of the snow layer is 62 cm, and the height is 51 cm. The ejection range is adjustable from 1 metre to 15. The reflector rotates 190 degrees, you can throw snow in any direction. It is convenient that adjustments can be made both in manual and automatic mode.

Tyres with deep tread ensure maximum cross-country snowplow and prevent slipping on icy surfaces.

A halogen headlight is fixed on the right handle, which facilitates work in the dark.

German pedantry was also expressed in the configuration of the unit. In addition to the instructions and the list of spare parts, the manufacturer did not forget to add the keys to the engine and spark plugs, as well as 2 pairs of spare shear bolts.

In general, the AL-KO SnowLine 620E is good at any angle. Reliable, performant unit at an appropriate price.

The American brand Patriot has been producing a wide range of gardening, harvesting, climatic equipment and power tools since the early 90s of the last century. Patriot PS 921 is a compact but powerful snowplow that will cost only a thousand dollars, but will become a reliable assistant to owners of country houses in harsh snowy winters.

The car has a proprietary 4-stroke engine with a capacity of 9 hp, designed to work in harsh winter conditions. The bronze gears of the gearbox and the built-in bearings allowed to increase the life of the unit up to 2500 engine hours.

I was also pleased with the volume of the fuel tank of 6 liters, which is enough for 2.5 – 3 hours of work. The crankcase is also not small and holds 1.1 liters of oil. In order for the snowplow to function for a long time and without problems, it is recommended to fill it with 92 gasoline and oil for 4-stroke engines.

A 7-speed transmission (2 rear) ensures efficient operation of the snowplow. With a high density of snow mass, it is recommended to work at reduced gears, use the 4th and 5th speeds to move with a non-working auger.

Three levers are responsible for the direction, the angle of snow ejection and the choice of speed. By installing the deflector at the highest possible angle (70 °), it is possible to achieve a range of ejection of crushed snow mass of 13 m.

The cleaner is able to clear a 62 cm wide and 51 cm high path in one pass. These are perfect parameters for yard cleaning, park pedestrian zones, car parking. 14-inch wheels with powerful treads are not afraid of icy surfaces and sloping slopes, they do not slip and do not slip, the snowplow does not skid at high speeds.

I was also pleased with a good engine muffler. The maximum sound level of the working unit does not exceed 80 dB (the noise of the working vacuum cleaner). Compared to most models, it's as much as 20 or even 30% quieter, so it's definitely worth bringing this circumstance into the plus.

In general, all of the above makes the Patriot PS 921 more than an attractive option for a snowplow with an eye to long-term use. You can't think of a better one for that kind of money. And there's nothing to find fault with.

The Swedish brand was founded in 1934 and since then has been confidently leading the world in sales of mechanized garden equipment of its own production. The ST 4262 PB snowplow is a reliable unit for owners of private houses who often face the problem of snow drifts.

The heart of the snowplow is a 4-stroke Briggs and Stratton 950 engine with a capacity of 6.3 hp, specially designed for operation in winter conditions at temperatures up to -29 ° C. It has a fuel tank capacity of 3 liters, a crankcase — 0.6 liters. With an average intensity of work, one refueling is enough for 1 – 1.5 hours. Whether it is a lot or a little depends on the area of the territory being cleaned. In addition to manual, the engine also has an electric start function with a key.

The device is equipped with an 8-speed gearbox with 6 front and two rear gears that can be switched on the go. 14-inch wheels with Snow Hog treads manoeuvre well on icy surfaces and slopes, and unlocking the differential, which makes the wheels independent, allows you to cope even with difficult congestion.

ST 4262 PB perfectly handles with frozen flooring up to half a metre high, clearing an area 62 cm wide. The snow removal chute can be adjusted in height and horizontally, providing mass ejection at a distance of up to 10 m. All control levers are focused on the dashboard, which is very convenient. You can operate with one hand.

In order to work as comfortably as possible behind the snowplow, the handles made of soft elastic material have a heating function, and the halogen headlights turn on automatically when the engine starts. At night, they provide good lighting, and during the day they are signal beacons to increase the safety of work, especially if they are carried out next to or on the roadway. It is impossible to turn off the headlights forcibly. So that you have to put up with light accompaniment even in sunny weather.

Considering all the characteristics, Stiga ST 4262 PB can be safely called one of the best snow plows in the middle class, although quite expensive. However, you can hardly find a better one for a thousand euros.

The Swedish manufacturer of garden equipment Husqvarna is known all over the world for the high quality of its products. The ST 227P snowplow is a powerful and reliable unit that will serve faithfully for many years, clearing parking lots, courtyards, alleys, driveways, etc.

The 4-stroke LCT Storm Force 254 OHV engine installed in the car has a volume of 254 cc and a power of 7.5 hp. This allows him to cope with both freshly fallen and stale snow with a height of up to 58 cm.

We should immediately note that for such an engine (and the more powerful the unit, the more fuel it consumes, respectively), the manufacturer equipped the snowplow with a too compact tank, only 2.7 liters. So that for long-term operation (more than 1.5 hours) without refueling, you should not count. However, the bucket width of 68 cm partially helps out. It allows you to cope with a lot of snow in less time.

Otherwise, there are practically no weak points in the car. There is a 7-speed transmission with 6 forward speeds, and an electric starter from the outlet, and powerful tyre treads, and differential unlocking. The latter makes it possible to cope with difficult sections of the path, making the wheels independent.

Operator comfort is also at a high level. The dashboard is located at a convenient height and compactly accommodates all levers and buttons. Heated handles are adjustable in height, loop-shaped handles provide a convenient grip and direction control, and two LED lights not only make it easier to work at dusk, but also give the car a stylish spectacular look resembling the head of a transformer robot.

The mechanism of the belt auger is protected from overload by shear bolts, and plastic support plates allow you to adjust the height of the casing so that it does not scratch on the surface of the ground or asphalt.

Of course, the Husqvarna ST 227P is almost an impeccable snow removal equipment, created for maximum comfort. And everything would be fine, but the price of 2K euros bites. After all, there are aggregates of other brands, no worse and twice as cheap. But here, as they say, the taste and colour. Either competitors underestimate themselves, or Husqvarna them.
