Yardman Snow Blowers come in a variety of sizes to suit the needs of various snow clearing jobs, contractor requirements and consumer requirements. You can select Yardman Snow Blowers from light duty models, moderate duty and heavy duty depending on your snow clearing needs. Contractors who clear snow all winter long will likely choose heavy duty machines for their business. They need machines that can handle the daily harsh treatment of blowing snow, loading and unloading and generally rough treatment by employees.
Consumers on the other hand can use light or moderate duty machines depending on how much snow you receive each winter and how deep the drifts are. They tend to purchase smaller machines due to storage issues and the reality of clearing only one driveway even if it is two car widths wide and a normal length.
Moderate duty Yardman Snow Blowers come in 26 and 28 inch widths . They can handle double driveways with snow from 6 to 12 inches in depth easily. Steel augers and a high speed impeller can deal with most snow conditions including hard packed snow conditions.

There is a 12 inch impeller, 15 inch tires, space saving folding handles, polymer chute with a 2 year warranty. More room is required to store one of these machines since they are larger in width.

Storage of any of these machines should be considered. Many people have one or two cars and space for only one or two cars in their garage. Unfortunately builders do not allow for much more than space for a car in today's homes. A snow blower takes up a lot of room. Many people just do not have the space unless they leave their car outside on the driveway. This is a common thing for many people since their garage is filled with other outdoor maintenance activity equipment. We find that many families will have two cars. They will park their cars on he driveway or even on the street to make it easier to navigate around.
In the winter time many cities and towns have bylaws in place that prevent parking on the street during the evening and night time hours. This makes the clearing of streets easier. This is an inconvenience for many people. However it is the only way to arrange for narrow streets to be cleared of snow.
